Using the in-depth analysis of arctic air masses, barometric pressure and the
gut instincts you need to make it in this industry, DiRocco's predicting 18-24
inches to fall in the West Chester area. He believes the snow to begin around 5
p.m., with the heaviest amounts occurring from 10 p.m. through Saturday
morning, with as much as 2 inches falling an hour. The storm should finally
wind itself down around 3 p.m.
tomorrow.
The best news for all you kids out there is that this snow will be
great for building a snowman or having a good old fashioned snowball fight.
"Unlike the big snow storm we got in December, this snow has a lot of
moisture in it, making it wet and heavy, perfect for some snow-packing fun tomorrow. However it will make the shoveling a bit harder on the back," DiRocco told
Sconda Blog.
Since he began working at Scott Honda 2-years-ago, the newly anointed Sconda
Weatherman has been a Mecca of weather
information for the entire dealership, fielding question after question about
the weather, but he never tires of it, he has loved the weather ever since he can
remember.
"Meteorology has fascinated me
since I was young," DiRocco recalls. "As
a little kid I would always get up in the middle of the night to see if it was
snowing and usually I would catch that first snowflake coming down."
DiRocco also has a good friend who is
a Meteorologist at the National Weather Service (NOAA) in Tulsa, Okla. where he was lucky enough to
receive a tour of the weather center. "I was like a kid in the
candy shop," he said. "Tornado sirens were going off,
satellite screens were everywhere, it was an awesome experience!"
Sconda Blog hopes this is the
first of many forecasts from our very own weatherman Gregg
"Nor'easter" DiRocco.
Too Funny!! He is the best though!
