>From Charlie in NE PA:
Subject: Dangerous Conditions into Friday! PM
Date: Thu, 14 Jan 1999 16:41:16 -0500
From: "SBC C&C - Pa" <sbccomp{at}sbccomputer.com>
(CASI, General Pike, Schools...List 4)
Looks like it's Pike's turn....FORECAST IS CREEPY!
At 3:50, the NWS extended the Winter Storm Warning
into Friday for 'Dangerous Icing Conditions'.
Couldn't get it all on the 'banner'
but overall (with the possible exception of Gold Keys Entrance?)
Most side and community roads in Pike have 2-4 inches of snow
(some over ice). Intersections on Main roads throughout
the county are dangerous.
The interstate was open as of an hour ago (But nothing
would surprise me tonight)
The bottom line - Forget the milk - I just drove
it in the truck (Very sick human being).
If the icing predication holds,
just be happy if your power stays on.
Stay Warm
Hope these helped
Charlie
