★★Deadly Flash Freeze Death Toll Rising As Ice Storm hits East

A deadly “flash freeze” swept through much of the Northeast on Sunday, causing crashes that killed at least five people and forcing flight delays and closure of all bridges linking Philadelphia and New Jersey.  But was it predicted by private or government officials and did NOAA drop the ball?

The National Weather Service did not predict this storm.  In fact, NWS issued a Freezing Rain Advisory for these areas after the roads started icing up, blaming models for underestimating the event. 

However NationalWeatherForce.com predicted the event with one simple map showing ‘Ice Problems’ in the same areas the worst ice hit.  This was done without model use.  In fact, this was done using a 1950s style forecast technique by understanding the colder air in the valley this ice storm hit, from Philidelphia through most of the Northern half of New Jersey.

This is why we urge the public NOT to wait for government alerts and go straight for any source you deem to find accurate.  This event clearly was handled correctly by NationalWeatherForce.com
