Blizzard #2 of 2010 pelted Detroit and Southeast Michigan with moderate to heavy snowfall early Wednesday morning. I loved being on snow patrol during Local 4 News Morning, which began 30 minutes earlier than normal for viewers. I did tag team weather with my co-worker Eric Braate.
Many of my weather buddies on Facebook answered my call with snowfall amounts. By air-time, several Detroiters had 5 inches of new snow or more. Also, I received reports from Facebook friends from coast to coast. My Co-Anchor inquired about the weather in Southern California on the air, and I was able to answer him with an observation from my Digital Weather Watcher Jovanny Venegas, which was: ”Orange County, CA no snow just rain.” Similarly, Max Cacas reported “5 new inches on top of what’s already fallen…in (Washington,)D.C.” Many of my audience members were able to catch these reports on the livestream of my newscast.
It was a wild morning! Just what a meteorologist and science reporter, like me, lives for!
By noon, many communities had up to 10 inches of snow. Here are the final snowfall totals from The National Weather Service:
This is the map of the total snowfall amounts from the February 9-10, 2010 snowstorm.
