When I was a kid, we didn't have air conditioning, so we would either have popsicles to cool off, or we would ride our bikes to Hills, and hang out in the snack bar! Do your best to keep cool! This heat isn't anything to mess with.
WATER INSTANTLY CHANGING TO ICE? Here is an awesome, cold weather experiment to try. Instructions appear in the video! It is called "Super cooled" water, because you drop its temperature below freezing, without freezing it, and it is VERY easy to do.

You may hear "Social Mediarologists" talking "Blizzard"... It is far too soon for that! It has been 3702 days (more than 10 yrs) since our last blizzard warning, so they are quite rare here. Calling for one 5 days out is irresponsible.

the wonder and beauty I call BABUSHKA CAST! Enjoy this masterpiece, my weather babies! 😂😂😂
The grilled cheese-tomato soup combo was invented for days like today. If you want to really live the rainy day lifestyle, take a long couch nap after eating it.
I almost pulled out of a parking lot in front of a woman who had the "right of way". I waved to show I was sorry. She accepted that wave without overreacting, beeping the horn or flipping the bird. This is how adults handle little mistakes.
BABUSHKA CAST: Well, I was asked to make this a "regular thing", and I aim to please! 😀 I hope you like it! YES, the forecast is real on it!

WINTER STORM UPDATE: A developing winter storm system still has its eye on our area. Several inches of snow could come down from late-day Sun into Mon morning. Here are early estimates on potential snowfall. These numbers are subject to change, but we want you to be prepared.
Even when the snow is insignificant, this is an accurate description of what it is like to be a meteorologist who mentioned the word "snow". 😂😂😂

SO MANY PLANETS VISIBLE TONIGHT IN THE
#PITTSBURGH
AREA! If we can push the clouds out of here by this evening, you have the chance to see 4 Planets (and no, Uranus is not one of them 🙄)! Looking to the South after 8:45pm, you'll see them, 2 on each side of the Moon.
Now that is how you do a sunset! 👏👏👏 This is a look from Gateway Center in Downtown

added the StayPuff Marshmallow man for scale. 🤣🤣🤣 They could put on a good lightning show when they arrive in the

area.
If you're up late, the Northern Lights are still on! They are faint, but visible. They really show up through a camera. Even the camera on your phone! I hope you are all enjoying this view as much as I am! This is from my neighborhood in Cranberry Township!

Pittsburgh was lucky to have a guy like Joe DeNardo. While I wish I could have worked with Joe, I'm glad I got to know him. Rest in peace, Joe.

Actually that is horribly incorrect... Wind chill can speed up frostbite and hypothermia. Those are both weather-related dangers. Since we have that knowledge in our "tool belt", we pass those concerns along. Thanks for playing!
I'm sorry you missed your recording, but I'm more sorry for those who had extensive storm damage tonight. You can stream those shows on . While you may find that to be an inconvenience, I'm sure it's not as bad as those cleaning up after the storms.
@RayPetelinWx
I heard you say earlier tonight that primetime programming was on CW due to your endless storm coverage. Unfortunately, thst didn't help those of us who RECORD our shows to watch LATER! I found out at almost 2 a.m., a little too late to catch them on CW!! ENOUGH!
Satellite lightning detection can pick up on meteors. There was a quick event at 11:26am (tiny, green blip), which lines to with the timing of this morning's "boom". This is just an idea, while other possibilities are being researched.
I hope you were able to see the eclipse, even if it was just 97%. I hope you were able to experience all that comes with it, and used it as an opportunity to connect with people. I had a great time at Point State Park, sharing my eclipse glasses with people and talking science!
Is snow on the way? YES
Milk, bread, TP worthy? NO
Slick Spots? YES
