Blizzard Coverage

Roving Reporter Bill: So, as you can see, it's really coming down out here. Here in Forest Hills we've had about six inches of snow so far, and the storm shows no sign of abating until tomorrow.

Studio Reporter Dave: Thanks Bill. Well you're live with us here on XYZ-TV News, bringing you the up to the minute latest on the storm hitting the Tri-state area. Let's go over to Mack in the weather room to see the latest on the radar.

Blue Screen Dude Mack: Thanks Dave, I'm here in the XYZ-TV weather room manning the radar screens and as you can see on the screen behind me, we've got a thick bank of snowclouds working their way across the region. We've had six inches of snow so far in these areas, with more on its way, as you can see, with no signs of letting up until lunchtime tomorrow. In fact, we've got Sandra outside the radar weather buildings right now. Sandra?

Roving Reporter Sandra: Thank you, Mack. Well, as you can see the snow is really coming down out here and you might be able to see behind me that there are snow ploughs working their way along the roads, but they're having some difficulty as the snow is still coming down really hard. The roads are pretty treacherous. Back to you, Mack.

Blue Screen Dude Mack: Sandra, thank you. Behind me on the screen is the total snowfall so far - in most of the region, as you can see, we've had about six inches, with much, much more on the way. Dave.

Studio Reporter Dave: Thanks Mack. You're watching XYZ-TV News, bringing you up to the moment coverage of the blizzard hitting the Tri-state area. There is a storm warning across the region. Snow is expected to keep falling until around noon tomorrow. We've got Jill in the East Village.

Roving Reporter Jill: Hi there Dave. It's really heavy snow here in the Village, with people walking around being very careful because of the snowy ground. The roads are really covered in snow, and I've been talking to Buddy, a FedEx driver, about the conditions. Hi there Buddy.

Buddy: Hi.

Roving Reporter Jill: So, tell us, Buddy. How have you been finding the difficult driving conditions?

Buddy: Well, it's been difficult. It's kinda slippery because of all the snow, but there's not much traffic about, so it's awright. (laughs)

Roving Reporter Jill: Thank you, Buddy. We're going live now, over to XYZ-TV's Johnny B, who is at this time roughly one block away from where I'm standing. Over to you, Johnny.

Roving Reporter Johnny: Thanks, Jill. Well, conditions here one block North of where Jill is standing are pretty bleak. It's been snowing for a while, and we've got about six inches at present, with no sign of a let up in the snowfall until tomorrow afternoon. All this snow is making driving pretty difficult. Back to you in the studio.

Studio Reporter Dave: Thanks guys. You're tuned in to XYZ-TV, bringing you the region's most up to the minute coverage of Blizzard 2005. We're going to go over to Mack now in the XYZ-TV radar rooms to see how things are shaping up. Stay tuned-

Stuart: Do you want to watch a movie?

Krissa: Yeah, all right.
