How a newsroom makes french toast...
Snow storms are some of the best things to happen in television news. Why? It's an easy story to cover -- just have your meteorologist make their predictions, and then send the reporters out to the grocery store to see if anyone has ransacked the bread and dairy aisles. It's the typical tried-and-true crutch formula, so much so that one former news director refered to it as "french toast weather."
To be fair, you can only cover a snow storm so many ways. But I couldn't help but roll my eyes when I saw everyone go on bread, egg, and milk patrol. Yes, we know, some people stock up on food during an impending storm. Why should the viewers care? Were any of them hoping to make french toast tonight or tomorrow?
That said, let's see what each station is predicting when it comes to snow:
WNEP: Up to 16" in northern PA, up to 12" in central PA, up to 8" in southern PA
WBRE: Up to 20" in northern PA, up to 15" in central PA, up to 10" in southern PA
WYOU: Up to 16" in northern PA, up to 13" in central PA, up to 7" in southern PA
WBRE seems to be more liberal in its predictions, while the other two are holding back a bit. Either way, the difference doesn't appear to be that drastic, so it's not as if one station is going out on a limb with a drastically-different forecast.
We'll see who's right tomorrow night. Until then, enjoy all the news stories originating from your local supermarkets or PennDOT sheds!

I'm just wondering if you have suggestions about covering a snow storm. Should the local news ignore it?
Local news should never ignore a snow storm. I guarantee viewers would try to burn down the station if that happened.
I think any news coverage of a snow storm (or related weather phenomenom) should start by asking, "Does the viewer care?" From my experience, viewers want to know how this storm will affect them. How bad will it get? Will I be able to drive into work? Will my kids be able to get to school? Have any roads been closed down? That's just a start. Even the "I just paid $80 for this damn Valentine's Day bouquet; will it be delivered tomorrow?" angle was good.
Here's my question: if the storm will be as big as the forecasters predict, then why are stations wasting their time at the grocery store talking to some schmuck with an armful of bread and dairy products?
Keep in mind, NEXSTAR meterologists are under orders to be "very liberal" with their snowfall predictions...
Better to be liberal with snow predictions. Imagine the two scenarios: predict two feet and get four inches, people laugh at you. Predict four inches and get two feet, people want to kill you
Holy cow! Did WNEP go overboard with their team coverage of the snow storm Wednesday morning.
Rosa Yum eating sleet and being blown all over the place in Mount Pocono, where she said it was snowing and sleeting like “cats and dogs.” John Meyer in Towanda saying its snowing there on Route 6.
Meanwhile, at WBRE, Josh Hodell and Kerry Shahen were doing snow angels on the roof at the death NEXSTAR. Shahen's stomach was exposed while she was doing snow angels.
Tom Williams: “We go to John Meyer who is up in Bradford County. John.”
John Meyer: “Thanks Tom, It’s snowing here in Towanda. I’m standing on Route 6 that is snow covered with snow. It’s also cold up here. It’s 12 degrees and windy. We now go to Rosa Yum in Mount Pocono.”
Rosa Yum: “Thanks John. I’m eating sleet here in Mount Pocono where I need sand bags to keep me down. It’s snowing like cats and dogs here. Sleet is falling into my mouth. We go to Ryan Leckey in Luzerne County.”
Ryan Leckey: “I’m standing overlooking the North Cross Valley Expressway that is snow covered. We now talk to (name) who’s plowing snow. What are you doing with the snow plow.
Plow Truck Driver: “I’m plowing snow.”
Ryan Leckey: “How is it plowing snow.”
Plow Truck Driver: “You put the truck in drive and plow the snow.”
Ryan Leckey: “There you have it ladies and gentlemen. He’s plowing snow. The North Cross Valley Expressway is still covered in snow. We now go back to Rosa Yum in Monroe County.”
Rosa Yum: “I’m still eating sleet that’s falling in my mouth. It’s still snowing like dogs and cats, cats and dogs and I’m getting blown all over the place. The ‘16’ sign I put in the snow is now snow covered. I’m getting back in the truck because I’m getting blown all over the place. We go back to John Meyer up in Towanda.”
John Meyer: “Thanks Rosa. It’s still snowing here in Towanda where the snow covered Route 6 is still covered in snow. We now take you to the backyard with Joe Snedecker and Kurt Aaron.”
Joe Snedecker: “I’m eating snow with mustard. Kurt Aaron is throwing snow balls at me. UUUGGG. It’s snowing outside. That’s what happens when it snows. Hey Kurt, you want some snow with mustard.”
Kurt Aaron: “No Joe, no Joe, I want horseradish sauce with my snow.”
WBRE’s morning newscast wasn’t all that exciting until Kerry Shahen did some snow angels exposing her lower belly.
Kerry Shahen (on the roof to Mark Hiller in the studio) “Mark, I’m going to do snow angels with Josh Hodell. Look at me, snow is sticking to my sweat pants.”
Josh Hodell: “I’m doing snow angels too. Mine are better shaped. I see your stomach Kerry.”
"Keep in mind, NEXSTAR meterologists are under orders to be "very liberal" with their snowfall predictions... "
Nexstar mets are not under any orders to do any such thing. Why would the company want their Mets to be liberal with their predictions? They want them to be accurate so people trust them and want to watch them.
Where's Vince when you need him!!
"Vince said it would be like this."
"Thanks Vince."
Bring him back.
I've always wondered how can you win in topography like this? You have:
>Low-lying areas near a river.
>Medium-altitude.
>Higher el's.
>Areas where substantial hills control the winds and, therefore, snow drops.
>The valley wind patterns itself.
This isn't 16 in South Bend, where our "weatherman" could copy from the Chicago stations 90 miles away and still be right. (He did and we were.)
Up until the early 70s no San Diego TV station had a weathercaster. The anchors read the forecast--because it was always "73 and Sunny." A no-brainer.
Here we're blessed/cursed with a wide variety of weather conditions. And let's face it, we're all selfish--we all want to know EXACTLY what the weather will be right outside our door, and to hell with everyone else.
That means that this time--for the FIRST time--WBRE's decision to put meteorologists in Stroudsburg and Williamsport makes some sense.
Too bad that come spring it will go back to being a useless promotional gimmick.
Hey, watch out for the "white stuff." GAG!
All of the local stations should provide weather data as they see it as soon and as often as possible. I live in the boonies, and am smart enough to stock up on basics like canned food, powdered or canned milk, bisquit mix, and don't forget the toilet paper! I can stay snowed in for weeks and still survive. But I see many people who stop at the store DAILY for food/paper products as needed. They wouldn't make it two days! These people need to be warned because they don't have common sense to prepare for the weather and/or unexpected events. I'm ok, warm and comfy until I get plowed out, which may be awhile since I'm far from the main roads. That's ok. Got to go. I think it's time for some hot chocolate...
WNEP did a ridealong with a PennDot crew on I-81 as their lead at 5, which was a nice angle, and how they couldn't get around all the traffic mess ups... WBRE's lead at 5 was talking to people on the street (saying they didn't see any plow trucks) and only video of trucks loading salt.
...yet WNEP's lead video was a live shot of Davis Street looking down into Moosic/Scranton, but the lead script line was "your looking at a live view of interstate 81" talking about how it was shut down...
This all reminds me of Andy standing in front of a building and telling his viewers that "I'm standing here in front of this building."
Wow
Just my opinion! WNEP had better snow coverage Wednesday than WBRE or WYOU, but did fall short at times.
Ryan Leckey was stuck all afternoon in a huge traffic jam on Interstate 81 and not seen at 5pm. The anchors made only a passing reference to the problem in Luzerne County, as if it were unconfirmed.
When Leckey did live shots at 5:30 and 6pm, he didn't have anyone's stranded story except a man right by his truck. How could the crew spend hours on 81 and not find stories to tell?
Someone else noted the anchors talking about 81 closed in Lackawanna County when the camera never showed it. Josh Brogadir, for the same story, repeatedly talked about "states of emergency" and never explained what that means.
The best (worst?) was when WNEP reported it had information about emergency shelters for anyone stranded on 81. The anchors offered wnep.com for details. It was strange enough to be talking on tv to people in cars, but directing them to the internet for details just blew me away.
Did anyone else notice WNEP used Kurt Aaron to help Joe Snedeker in the morning, but Tom Clark went solo during his shift? Is that admitting to viewers that they can't count on Snedeker is such weather situations?
Hard to get a real read on who did what and when while skipping back and forth, so these are impressions only.
I thought WBRE came out the big winner. Not that they were better than WNEP, but they were better than THEY'VE ever been. They stretched the 28 envelope, and the out-and-about meteorologists finally paid a dividend. Wednesday night at 11:00 Josh Hodell said he'd been up for 41 hours straight. The effort showed.
WNEP was--as always--the best, but for the first time in a long time only by a slim margin. 16 DIDN'T strretch, didn't show anything new, just followed the 25-year-old playbook to the letter. WBRE closed the gap.
WYOU should be called WYO-WHO? But then they don't have the horses to be in the race.
How can you blindly say 16 had better snow coverage? YOU/BRE was live in Susquehanna County at noon Wednesday (meaning they had to plan ahead to get up there before hand) when I-81 was just beginnning to close because of snow. BRE/WYOU had a crew at the truck stop near Pittston that actually showed and talked to stranded motorists on I-81. Not to mention Les Still out live on the streets in Wilkes-Barre for both the 5/6 & 11 casts. I don't remember seeing 16 even have video of how bad Wilkes-Barre was that caused them to declare the State of Emergency. WBRE had a similar PennDot plow ride along that 16 did. And lets do compare those forecast snow totals. Funny how the 3 & 4 man local meteorologist teams at YOU & NEP had a better forecast than the corperate Accuweather forecast that BRE uses.
I was disappointed thought that the "meteorologist in your back yard" approach BRE went to didn't have more true weather information. They were just kicking snow like the reporters at 16 were doing.
"Snowing here? Yup. Snowing there? Yup. Snowing out there? Yup."
If your reporting from the storm, tell me something I can't see. I can hit the mute buttton and look at the live picture to know it's snowing & cold.
10:23-- It was strange enough to be talking on tv to people in cars, but directing them to the internet for details just blew me away.
My first guess is that, since people don't have tv's in cars, is that he might have been saying this for the benefit of people at home who could look at the internet and then call their folks via cell phone. A much more likely scenario.
I'm pretty sure Snedeker can do a snowstorm on TV solo. Aaron being there is part of the "team coverage" because two meteorologists telling you we got a lot of snow and the roads are bad is far more impressive than just one. Kuharchik had Hodell on the roof yesterday morning.
10:23 PM, I'd say that management understands that Snedeker is often seen as too clownish to be serious. Adding Kurt Aaron added a touch of professionalism which is sorely needed. Snedeker is a good meteorologist, but he lets his comical side get in the way at the wrong times. During storms like this one, people need the weather, not a stand-up routine. Having them both covered all the bases. Hard job to cover this for such a wide area. I'd say they did a good job under bad circumstances.
WNEP's coverage at noon on thursday was LAME-O. Nothing more than a recap of Wednesday. At least WYOU/WBRE had fresh stuff and updates.
Keep phoning it in up there.
I lost a lot of respect for Snedecker during this storm. After the noon news on Wed. he said he drove his wife and kids home. He was on the road with kids during the worst part of the storm. What sad is not only his lack of concern for himself and family is that many people where blaming the difficulties on the extra traffic at that time. He knew it was coming he accurately predicted the times, yet he risked a lot to drive home when the station was putting him up at the Hampton Inn. Nancy Kman admonished him this morning about it, but he didn't get it. His devil may care attitude was a fun act, but it looks like it isn't an act.

The challenge for WNEP's next news director is to overcome decades of built-in inertia. By constantly touting "The 16 Way" WNEP has raised mediocrity to an art form. I see in a separate thread that there’s talk Bob Reynolds may have a future in ‘NEP news management. Not to disparage Bob’s past as a reporter—but it’s in the past. Think he’s the hot-shot innovator who’s going to drive “Newswatch” forward? Nah. He’d promote and reward what he knows best—the status quo. Dennis Fisher took the job with high hopes, then quickly realized it doesn’t pay to preach “cutting edge” to people who don’t think there’s any room for “new” in “news.” Why bother?
16 is ripe for the plucking. If only Nexstar would—if only Nexstar could—rise to the challenge.
At the end of the 6 PM show today, WNEP had the Head of PennDot on the show. All of a sudden, up came the 6:30 ABC Newscast. The interview was cut off in mid-stream. Oh, I forgot, no one is in their Master Control. I think a slight run-over would have been understood by the parent network, given the seriousness of the storm related conditions. Says me.
"Funny how the 3 & 4 man local meteorologist teams at YOU & NEP had a better forecast than the corperate Accuweather forecast that BRE uses."
10:48 AM
Um, funny how you can write but not read. If you compare the forecasts that Howard has in the original post, you would clearly see that WBRE had the best forecast. Simple as looking at the numbers. Everywhere I've seen saw anywhere from 10 to 20", and some places up north had 22 or 23.
Although I guess 16 could argue they did nail it because they covered everything from 3-6 on their map to the 25" their FutureRadar was showing I guess when you forecast 3-25" then as Joe said this morning, "Right where we thought it would be."
Also AccuWeather is nothing but a branding. Their forecasts are not used by any of the meteorologists who work at WBRE. Once Vince Sweeney (not a met obviously) was gone there was no need for it - but they have a contract so it continues.
Glad to see WNEP's promotions dept. hones their writing skills here. Gag.
I've done my own comparisons. WYOU nailed the forecast, WBRE and WNEP predicted too much.
OK, I have to ask. Who can't live a whole day or two without eggs? If you can figure that out, the yolk's on you.
I see at 6:00 p.m. Thursday night WBRE and WYOU staged their first pure dinner-hour news simulcast: a "News Alliance" special WITHOUT much News Alliance participation.
Andy Mehalshick and Eric Scheiner co-anchored—Candice Grossklaus and Lyndall Stout played supporting roles—no sports—only Josh Hodell on weather—minimal reporting—lousy viewer phone calls—pointless (and predictable) guests.
Nice try, Nexstar, but there wasn't much meat on the bone.
The question, of course: is this the long-awaited tipping point signaling a pending merger of the newscasts and news staffs?
I was first to offer the opinion that NEP did better Wednesday than BRE or YOU. Never said it was perfect and did detail some shortcomings.
If the criteria is how well the stations did compared to past storm coverage, BRE wins by a lot.
As someone else said, it's been a long time since BRE looked that good.
Tom Carten: I'm sure the 16 anchors meant to give info to people who could contact those stuck on 81, but that's not the way they scripted it. You get judged by what you say, not what you meant to say.
If NEP used its 25 year old playbook, it would have been a lot better. The main problems with the coverage on 16 were reporters forgot people stories and anchors didn't provide a good overview of the situation. No maps and no graphics. Tough to follow as a viewer.
Thursday's coverage on NEP added Skycam for the first time, but the advantage was wasted. While Skycam was able to show current interstate problems live, the anchors set up the newscast as "What went wrong last night?" No reporter in the chopper. How could you send it up without a reporter or anchor?
NEP also had the Pendot Secretary and State Police Commissioner live at the end of the 6pm newscast. While Pendot was explaining the problems, the station dumped out and joined network news. Who made that decision? Why bother to go to the interviews?
I thought WBRE came out the big winner. Not that they were better than WNEP, but they were better than THEY'VE ever been.
Given their efforts over the last several years, it wouldn't take much for them to be better, honestly.
WNEP did well today to go after PennDot, which did a shameful job with this storm, absolutely shameful.
It looks like the "Death Star" scooped 16 again.
22 was interviewing Penn Dot and was the first to announce 80 miles of I-81 was being closed. Then 28 was the first to be live at the point that traffic was being taken off I-81 in Luzerne County.
Seems like "The News Leader" has been the "News Follower" recently.
I'm not sure what snow totals some of you are looking at, but from the original post showing each stations predictions WBRE wins across the board. And by the way for those of you who don't know, accuweathers main purpose in the whole equation is providing the team with graphical support not forecasts. And also lets remember...each station is allowed all the resources of the local national weather service forecasts, so if a meteorologist wants to use another organizations forecast they don't need "corporate accuweather" haha to do it.
WNEP: Up to 16" in northern PA, up to 12" in central PA, up to 8" in southern PA
WBRE: Up to 20" in northern PA, up to 15" in central PA, up to 10" in southern PA
WYOU: Up to 16" in northern PA, up to 13" in central PA, up to 7" in southern PA
The fact that interstates are shut down and thousands THOUSANDS of foreign drivers are skidding along the rural roads of NEPA is HUGE NEWS.
When a .5 mile strecth of an interstate closes, it's lead-worthy. But this development is insane and should be capitalized on. Where are all the journalists? I know I've seen a great array of reports on the stranded and stuck driver, but where are the calls for change and correction on PENNDOT's part?
When is Ed Rendell going to get his ass up here to begin his overdue damage control?
I haven't been stuck on 81 or 80, but I feel the pain of this terribile situation. If the state had just shut the road down when the snow was falling and got everyone off then, they wouldn't have needed two nights and a whole other day to get their act together. They knew how bad it was initially.
Get out there WNEP, WYOU and WBRE and create a stink over this.
AccuWeather is--quite simply--the best of the national forecasting and weather info. suppliers out there.
If you have no idea what you're doing, you can rely on the folks in State College to put together a cut-and-paste forecast that beats anything you can rip-and-read off a wire. That's why so many newspapers and radio stations nationwide tout the AccuWeather forecast.
If you're 'BRE and 'YOU, with your own meteorologists, it's easy to supplement your "bought" forecast, the fancy graphics and the computer modeling with your own observations and NWS data and come up with your own take.
Looks to me like Hodell and Co. at WBRE ran it all through the grinder and came out with the best, most accurate predictions for this week's storm. No guessing--no gags--just a straight-forward forecast.
Nice going. Congratulations, and thanks.
Its time for Andy to pack it in and become a full time travel agent. His constant reminders that: I'm co-anchoring from (location) are getting real old real fast! His performance with PEMA head James Joseph Thursday night was, at best, embaarassing.
While 22/28 should be commended for the effort, it may be time for a new cleanup hitter in thr anchor spot. Have a Guiness in Dublin, Andy.

"And by the way for those of you who don't know, accuweathers main purpose in the whole equation is providing the team with graphical support not forecasts"
Really? Then why does josh start out with 'your accuweather forecast'?
'for those of us who don't know.'
I'll stick with WNEP or WYOU. And screw Vince. Bring back Derry Bird and Paul Heppner.
Looks to me like Hodell and Co. at WBRE ran it all through the grinder and came out with the best, most accurate predictions for this week's storm.
23 counties of PA get crippled, CRIPPLED, by a storm, and you think Hodell and Co. nailed it? F***, everyone nailed it. You're not too transparent, really.
"[W}hy does josh start out with 'your accuweather forecast'?"
10:29 PM
Easy--it's the biggest brand name out there. In and of itself "AccuWeather" adds credibility. Same reason the local baseball team now touts its affiliation with the New York Yankees.
Derry Bird and Paul Heppner? Yeah, and I'll bet you're waiting for black-and-white to come back, too.
The one person commenting is exactly right, Accuweather is a very well known name, gives credibility, but besides there mini forecast for their stations, which by the way nobody really looks at, like I said there main purpose is graphical support, along the lines of WSI, weather central, even the weather channel now supplies it to stations (the equipment, the computers...everything). As an outside meteorologist looking in who been in the business a long time, I find many folks commenting here who are probably just production assistants or other news personnel listening in every once and a while to a convo between there station mets and don't really know what there talking about when it comes to the weather dept. And trust me even the highest managers at a station are left in the dark with how many things work in the weather dept.
And Wow if accuweathers state college rookie meteorologists are so good, maybe they should just start putting out the watches and warnings...forget about the certified 15 year veteran at the National Weather service....what do they know...?????
"And Wow if accuweathers state college rookie meteorologists are so good, maybe they should just start putting out the watches and warnings...forget about the certified 15 year veteran at the National Weather service....what do they know...?????"
12:30 PM
I'd feel a lot more comfortable with the NWS if the government hadn't closed its Avoca airport forecasting office years ago, leaving us in the hands of--and at the mercy of--the Binghamton office.
Binghamton is poorly staffed and usually out of touch.
Want proof? 1) Look at the forecast out of Binghamton. 2) Look out your window. 3) Compare. 4) Take two aspirin and call back in the morning.
along the lines of snedeker taking his family home...where was julie sidoni? she missed a morning show and 2 evening shows. scott schaeffer said on the 7 that she was "stranded at home due to the storm." why didn't she stay at the hampton inn knowing what the conditions were to be? seems irresponsible to me.
There are several posts here that refer to meteorologists as "mets."
Anyone in the TV business ever here the term "mets" before? I've been around longer than most and its new to me.
Must be one of those "Eat the Yellow Snow" weather fraternity secret handshake things.
2:36 -- Anyone in the TV business ever hear the term "mets" before? I've been around longer than most and its new to me.
Probably an NEPA thing, like piggies, strippins, and two-tree inches of snow.
We needed Vince for this storm.
Vince always had the most accurate forcasts in the past. His expertise is truely missed.
Vince's expertise? Please. I liked Vince but all he did was read the weather. He didn't interpret the information he just read what was fed to him. What was he called a Weatherologist?
10:17AM,
At least people watched when Vince was on the air.
Josh who? Dave who?
Yes, let's bring back Vince so he can read us the forecast off the internet.
Vince read the weather, yeah. But are you saying that a meteorology degree allows the current crop of (nowhere near as likable as Vince) weather folk to perform some astoundingly accurate interpretations of information that Accu-Weather can't? Tom Clark with "anywhere from 3 to 16 inches"? That's a meteorology degree talking.
It's nice to have a piece of paper that says you're a scientist but when the end product parallels what someone without the sheepskin but who's good on TV is doing, seems to me the "who's good on TV" guy would be the one to go with.
Seriously, anyone here really impressed with the guy blabbing about the weather because Penn State handed him a diploma? It ain't about the diploma. Peter Jennings wasn't a meteorologist but he was a multi-million dollar a year network anchorman and he didn't graduate high school.
I believe the new General Manager should bring back Vince Sweeney to the 5PM, 6PM and 11PM newscasts.
That would bring WBRE some huge ratings.
"Vince said it would be like this."
Don't you think it's really astounding how Vince gets mentioned on this blog more than any other "talent" this market now has, or ever had? The guy's been off the air since last summer and people still talk about him, and most all of what they say is complimentary.
Bring back Vince!!!
I think they might have to plant a really large series of smooches on Vince's derriere (and pay him a nice chunk) to return to WBRE. I'm not sure even that would do the trick. I don't think too many people leave there, under any circumstance, with warm Hallmark memories so I can imagine how he feels based on the screwin' he got.
1:42pm:
Thanks, Vince.
Some of the best and most popular Weather forcasters on TV have no degree in science. They are good at what they do. Entertain and make weather easy to understand. I agree, who cares about a diploma. Vince was very good....at times Joe S. at WNEP makes it fun to watch (AT TIMES). Point being, who cares were you went to school or what degree you have, just give me the weather.
Nexstar needs to pucker up and open up it's wallet and bring Vince back.
Some day the science geeks will finally realize that no one gives a shit about degrees, seals, certificates, and their sanctimonious attitudes. Credentials don't draw viewers - they never have and never will.
Yeah, let's bring Vince back. And Jim Miller with the sports. Don't forget What's-His-Name (you know, the white-haired, deep-voiced Ted Baxter-type) on the news.
Bring back the old team and WBRE can return to the glory days when it had a 15 share!
Bring back the old team and WBRE can return to the glory days when it had a 15 share!
My God, your sarcasm is genius! Alas, you great wit, a 15 share would be impossible. You do realize, don't you, that WBRE has about a 6 share now, right? No, no, I'm betting you don't know that at all. WBRE has roughly one third of the audience it had when "...the white-haired, deep-voiced Ted Baxter-type." was there. A 15 share would require supernatural intervention. A 15 share would have the suits there drunk with delight - and it will NEVER happen again.
Kerry can make snow angels in my front yard any day!
