Blizzard Attack: 2nd Update

Heading Down the Road!
Your second weather update from Dim Bulb

As you continue on down the road, you decide that you've had enough of Dim Bulb for a while. You pop in a CD into your Harmon-Kardon 6-plex CD player. Time flies when you play your favorite tunes and what's better than the latest album on a snowy afternoon?

After a few miles, you notice that sleet, snow, and some freezing rain is beginning to coat the road. You begin to get curious about the weather. Your constant companion in Rock and Roll is "only a flip of a switch away", so you turn on the radio and hear the following familiar voice:

KDUH
"Goooooood Afternooooon! This is Dim Bulb from KDUH with the latest on the weather. It's now 2:45 p.m. on this snooooooowwwy afternoon! I hope that life is treating you kindly. The weather is continuing to be the big story today as more snow is expected through the evening and overnight hours.

"Here's the latest from the National Weather Service at 2:45 p.m. The storm is hitting harder west of here. The National Weather Service has now issued a Winter Storm Warning for just west of us, where some sections have already received 6 inches of snow! WOW! Radar indicates that heavy snow is falling west of us, with near blizzard conditions at times.

"For our area, we are still under a Winter Weather Advisory, but that is now only in effect north of Cedar Rapids. A Freezing Rain Advisory has now been issued from Cedar Rapids southward.! Radar shows a band of very light snow from Waterloo south to about Center Point.

"South of Center Point, the light snow is becoming mixed with some freezing mist, sleet, and a little rain at times. Farther south, just south of Cedar Rapids, the mixture has completely turned over to freezing rain.

"Roads are becoming a bit slippery in our area.   Between Waterloo and Cedar Rapids, roads are 25% ice/snow covered. Between Cedar Rapids and Iowa City , roads are 25 to 50% ice covered.

"Here at the KDUH studios, we have 33 degrees, with light snow. Winds are now becoming north-northwest and have increased to 15 to 25 mph with higher gusts! It certainly looks like another long weather day!

"Keep it here to KDUH for the latest on this adverse Winter weather situation! I'm Dim Bulb for KDUH...Now let's get back to some Power Rock and Roll! Here's U2 with an appropriate tune for the day, Where the Streets Have No Name.....on the home of Power Rock and Roll, KDUH!"
