I hope everyone enjoyed the first significant winter weather event of the season!
I know our local media sure did.
As expected, they provided round-the-clock live coverage of the winter wonderland dust-up that dropped a good four to six inches of wet, sticky, snowman-able flakes on Oklahoma soil.
For the most part, the coverage included the typical wintery mix of live coverage that Oklahoma weather watchers are accustomed to.
You know, footage from storm-chasers sliding around to report road conditions, reporters armed with yardsticks at busy intersections to verify that, yes, it’s snowing, and, of course, the classic live telephone interview with an official from the city or highway patrol encouraging people to stay at home unless they need to be out.
This time around, however, they tried some new live time-killing tactics.
