I think you cut out the best part - I remember seeing Jennifer Antkowiak live at the airport for the first time and thinking she was the prettiest girl ever! you Can see her for a split second at the end of this clip - she was reporting from the airport during this storm.

Yea, I know I cut out Jennifer at the end. What happened was my dad had originally taped Jennifer's bit during the storm, then he rewound the tape (by accident, I presume) and taped a home movie of me over it.)

Looks like Jennifer Antkowiak at the very end of the video.

Also, I wonder what Pete Yaksick is up to these days. He worked at WSEE in Erie in the early 2000s. Nice reporting on here.

[redoctober90]

Yup, you would be correct. Unfortunately, at the time of taping, my dad taped over that segment, so it's not on the video. But I still have some more segments from national broadcasts that I'm going to try and get up in the next few days.

Thanks. By the way, I apologize for the video skipping. My TV card occasionally will do this while recording and I can't avoid it. But it's still good quality, if you ask me.

What ever became of Margaret Shortridge?

[c130aviator]

I watched this live when I was 12 years old, lived in Uniontown and it was the beginning of what turned out to be a 12 day weekend.

What's up with the glitchiness in the video? Are we in the matrix?

[megamanfan3]

24"-36" around the Laurel Mountains? That was something.

This video reminds me of the Wang Chung Video-"everybody Have fun Tonight"

[Railer505]

Just recently a small handful of students graduated high school who were born during the blizzard... wonder what the stories were about their mothers getting to the hospital?

[geoffbruno]

The video get kinda of funny toward the middle they all start to look as if they are on speed.
