Storm of the Century (Or at least until the next one comes)
It is our responsibility to prepare you for inclement weather. We run crawls and extended weather coverage designed to keep you ahead of the storm. It is a process that involves a great deal of planning, coordination, teamwork, and some very long days out in the element for our reporters and photographers.
Much like the mail carrier (no, i won’t wear those blue pants) we bring you coverage through rain, sleet, snow and shine. We put our crews throughout the viewing area to report on the latest conditions in your neighborhood. Often times this means calling in extra reporters, photographers, producers, content coordinators and production staff rotating through a 12hr “on” and 12 “off” schedule.
Meanwhile, when we are not on air….we are providing constant updates to our website, http://www.nbc17.com. There you’ll find the latest school closings and delays along with winter weather tips, live weather warnings and advisories as well as the latest video and pictures submitted by YOU, our viewers.
If you have pictures of weather conditions in your neighborhood or better yet pictures of your kids enjoying the winter wonderland, we’d love it if you would share those with us so that we may, in turn, share them with other viewers. You can send your pictures to: .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
