Bad news, Lehigh Valley, Jim Cantore set to be in Allentown for winter storm

[TexasTowelie]

Well, it looks like the Lehigh Valley is sure in trouble now.

The Weather Channel’s own agent of doom, otherwise known as Jim Cantore, appears to be headed straight for Allentown. He is scheduled be in town Wednesday for live coverage of the expected winter storm, according to a news release.

The meteorologist, a veteran of major weather events from tropical storms to blizzards, is widely known as the person you don’t want to come to your town during a major storm. During Hurricane Delta in October, an overhead highway sign welcomed the meteorologist to New Orleans with this message, “Jim Cantore, Stay Home!”

Right now, the Lehigh Valley is set to face some of the most “extreme impacts” from the storm, according to the National Weather Service, with as much as 20 inches of snow and wind gusts of up to 35 mph possible. However, Empire Weather, which provides localized forecasts for The Morning Call, is projecting a much lower, though still significant, accumulation of 8-16 inches of snow.

2. I grew up there.

Snow every year during these months. I love how they predict doom but the paper slaps it down some. This is just another year for Allentown and surrounding areas.
