Practice English Speaking&Listening with: Video: Tom Messner has your weekend weather forecast. 2.7.20
NOW FIRST ALERT WEATHER WITH CHIEF METEOROLOGIST TOM MESSNER.
I CAN’T DECIDE IF I SHOULD RUN OUT OF HERE AFTER THE SIX O’CLOCK NEWS AND HELPED SHOVEL OR PRETEND.
I’M WORKING.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?
IT’S JUST I MEAN THERE IS A LOT OF SNOW.
THE SNOW IS THINKING ABOUT WINDING DOWN HERE AND JUST WANT TO SHOW YOU WHERE IT CERTAINLY HAS BECOME LIGHTER, BUT THERE IS STILL SNOW KIND OF JUST SOUTH OF THE CHAMPLAIN VALLEY AND JUST
KEEP GOING RIGHT ON DOWN INTO BENNINGTON COUNTY AS YOU DO COME TO THE NORTH.
YEP.
WE’VE GOT SOME SNOW OUT THERE.
IT’S ALL BEEN IN GEORGIA NOT LONG AGO AND THE SNOW WAS COMING DOWN, BUT THE THING IS JUST TO THE WEST AND THIS IS YOU KNOW, WHERE THE WEATHER’S KIND OF COMING FROM BECAUSE WE’VE GOT
THIS LOW PRESSURE THAT’S GOING TO PULL ON OUT OF HERE.
IT’S BEGINNING TO BREAK UP A LITTLE BIT.
SO I’M NOT EXPECTING MUCH MORE IN THE WAY OF SNOW.
NO, I WILL TELL YOU IT’S GOING TO CONTINUE TO BLOW AROUND.
WE’VE GOT A LOT OF WIND OUT THERE.
HOW ABOUT SOME MORE SNOW TOTALS FOR YOU HERE SOUTH BURLINGTON.
HOW DID THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE 14 INCHES 12 AND 1/2 ESSEX CENTER MORRISVILLE-STOWE DOZEN SAME KIND OF THING SARANAC RICHMOND A LITTLE BIT LESS THAN THAT.
SO OBVIOUSLY FOR MOST OF US THE PROBLEMS THIS AFTERNOON, THEY’VE BEEN SNOW RELATED, BUT YOU KNOW WHAT THIS MORNING KIND OF A WHOLE DIFFERENT DEAL LOT OF PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT WHAT A DRAG
IT WAS WITH ALL THE ICE ON METEOROLOGIST.
TYLER JANKOSKI IS GIVE US A LITTLE BACKGROUND ON WHAT THAT WAS ALL ABOUT.
WHAT’S UP TYLER?
YEAH, TOM, IT WAS AWFUL.
I DON’T KNOW.
HOW MUCH ICE YOU HAD TO SCRAPE OFF, BUT IT TOOK LIKE 20 MINUTES TO GET ABOUT A QUARTER OF AN INCH OFF.
THIS HERE IS A BIT OF A RADAR REWIND IT’S AN 8-HOUR LOOP FROM MIDNIGHT TO 8:00 A.M. THIS MORNING, SEE HOW THIS PINK COLOR GOT ALL THE WAY UP TO ABOUT ROUTE 11 IN NORTHERN NEW YORK
THAT WAS INDICATIVE OF THE FREEZING RAIN IN THE REASON IT WAS FREEZING RAIN IS BECAUSE IT WAS COLD AT THE GROUND 20S IN A LOT OF OF CASES BUT UP ABOVE LIKE FIVE.
THOUSAND FEET UP.
IT WAS ABOVE FREEZING SO WE HAD RAIN DROPS THAT WERE FALLING INTO ARE THAT WAS COLD.
SO IT’S STUCK TO EVERYTHING.
THE RESULT WAS FREEZING RAIN.
THE GOOD NEWS IS WELL, I GUESS GOOD NEWS.
IT’S SWITCH TO SNOW.
SO WE DIDN’T HAVE THE ICING BUT HAD A LOT OF SNOW FOR THE REST OF THE DAY.
THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE ICE TOTALS POINT THREE FIVE INCHES OF ICE AND SOUTH BURLINGTON EVEN SARANAC LAKE THERE WAS FREEZING RAIN ABOUT POINT 3 INCHES A QUARTER OF AN INCH IN PULTENEY
AND A COUPLE MORE HERE.
THIS DOWN TO THE SOUTH A LITTLE BIT SPRINGFIELD AT ALMOST A QUARTER OF AN INCH PLATTSBURGH AT 2/10 OF AN INCH AND EVEN STOW OVER A TENTH OF AN INCH.
SO NOT THE GREATEST TO STEP OUT TO BUT NOW WE HAVE SOME SHOVELING TO DO THE GOOD NEWS TOM.
NO MORE ICE TONIGHT.
THAT IS TRUE.
BUT YOU KNOW, IT’S FUNNY.
IT’S LIKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE COMMUTES TODAY, YOU KNOW THE ICE THIS MORNING AND THE SNOW THIS AFTERNOON, YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY AROUND NEW ENGLAND YOU DON’T LIKE THE
WEATHER, YOU KNOW, WAIT 5 MINUTES, IT’S GOOD.
CHANGE AND I TELL YOU WHAT’S CHANGING THE WIND HAS BEEN PICKING UP.
LOOK AT THESE WIND GUSTS IN THE 30S RIGHT IN THE CHAMPLAIN VALLEY.
SO IT’S BLOWING ALL THIS NEW SNOW ALL OVER THE PLACE PLATTSBURGH VISIBILITY WAY BETTER THAN IT WAS A LITTLE BIT EARLIER STILL SOME LIGHT SNOW AT THIS POINT WHERE IT’S 21
DEGREES.
WE’VE GOT TEENS AND 20S ON THE WEATHER MAP, BUT IT WILL CONTINUE TO GET COLDER OUT THERE.
IT’S GOING TO BE MUCH COLDER TONIGHT THAN IT HAS BEEN.
SO WHAT’S THE DEAL THE NEXT 12 HOURS?
WELL, LOOK AT THE WAY TEMPERATURES ARE COMING DOWN AND REMEMBER WE’VE GOT THE WIND SO THAT’S NOT HELPING A BIT.
I DO THINK THE SNOW IS GOING TO BE WINDING DOWN.
SO WHAT KEEP THE ALERT SIGN UP THERE UP TIL TEN O’CLOCK TONIGHT OR SO.
THAT’S WHEN THE WINTER STORM WARNING IS DUE TO EXPIRE SO FUTURECAST.
LOOK AT HOW EVERYTHING.
SIGN OUT THAT’S YOUR SATURDAY EVERYBODY.
IT’S A PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY DAY HIGHS ONLY IN THE TEENS GOING TO BE A LOT COLDER AROUND HERE.
HEY SPEAKING OF COLD.
WE’RE GOING NEGATIVE TOMORROW NIGHT INTO THE BEGINNING OF SUNDAY SUNDAY PARTLY SUNNY EARLY ON MORE CLOUDS LATER.
MAYBE A FEW SNOW SHOWERS.
THIS IS SOMETHING I THINK WE’LL WANT TO KEEP AN EYE ON.
SO HOW MUCH MORE SNOW BY THE TIME THIS WHOLE THING WINDS DOWN FIGURED BY 11 O’CLOCK TONIGHT, YOU KNOW, MAYBE ANOTHER ONE TWO, THREE MAINLY AS YOU GET INTO SOME ELEVATION AND THEN FINALLY
OUT IT GOES SNOW IS TAPERING OFF TONIGHT.
NEGATIVE NUMBERS IN NORTHERN NEW YORK FOR LOW’S TONIGHT.
OTHERWISE TO THE NORTH MAINLY SINGLE DIGITS POSITIVE TERRITORY DOUBLE DIGITS ON DOWN TO THE SOUTH AND THEN FOR TOMORRO, WE’LL CALL IT PARTLY TO MOSTLY SUNNY.
IT’S GOING TO BE A BIG DIFFERENCE.
YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY NEED YOUR SHADES AGAIN 15 BURLINGTON 14 PLATTSBURGH SOME 20S THOUGH FROM LEBANON AND THEN POINT SOUTH FROM THERE.
5 DAY FORECAST FROM 15 TO 4 OR BELOW TOMORROW NIGHT SUNDAY 28 DEGREES SO BIG DIFFERENCE SATURDAY TO SUNDAY THINK THE MOUNTAINS ARE GOING TO BE BUSY THIS WEEKEND.
JUST GET THAT FEELING SOME SNOW POSSIBLY RAIN IN THERE ON MONDAY TUESDAY.
SOME SNOW SHOWERS PRETTY WARM THOSE DAYS WEDNESDAY, ITS A MIX OF SUN AND CLOUDS SOME SNOW SHOWERS AT VAL.
WEDNESDAY NEXT FRIDAY LOOKING GOOD AND RIGHT NOW STEWART NEXT WEEKEND LOOKS NOTHING LIKE TODAY
