Driving on Ice, Cyprian Weather and Jersey!
We’ve done our research and we checked it twice… find out if it’s safe to drive on ice! In this video blog post we’ll teach you a little about driving on frozen water, the best time to vacation far outside The Northeast Quadrant, and why location matters when it comes to precipitation type in the Garden State.
Stay tuned tomorrow for Part 3 – the final video blog post in the Challenge Their Knowledge series! You won’t want to miss this – especially those of you in DC!

Ever since I was a young boy I loved the weather!
There was very little that excited me more than watching The Weather Channel since its inception in 1982. Bringing weather to life was the Channel's goal, and it delivered! I remember watching the local forecast as intense lines of storms progressed towards Edison, New Jersey (where I grew up), and being called by my father to join him on the front porch as he watched the storms close in on our neighborhood. I'd run back and forth between the gusty front porch that lied beneath the darkening sky to the cool air-conditioned living room, starring at the television as I glared at the storms getting closer and closer. As the line of vibrant red's and orange's intensified, so did my interest! My obsession for weather was born, and that's where it started!
With the tools I needed at my disposal I continued to closely follow various weather phenomenon: deadly mid-western tornado outbreaks, extreme Mississippi River flooding, Hurricanes Hugo and Andrew, crippling northeastern blizzards like the '93 Superstorm, earthquakes in the Golden State, volcanoes along the Pacific Rim... you name it!
Nearly 30 years later, those who know me well would say I have not changed all that much.
