Sconda Blog is proud to welcome our brand new weatherman, the go-to guy for all things meteorological at Scott Honda, a man who digs deep into the weather models and doesn’t just take Glenn “The Hurricane” Schwartz’s word for it, introducing our very own Gregg “Nor’easter” DiRocco.
Using the in-depth analysis of arctic air masses, barometric pressure and the gut instincts you need to make it in this industry, DiRocco’s predicting 18-24 inches to fall in the West Chester area. He believes the snow to begin around 5 p.m., with the heaviest amounts occurring from 10 p.m. through Saturday morning, with as much as 2 inches falling an hour. The storm should finally wind itself down around 3 p.m. tomorrow.
The best news for all you kids out there is that this snow will be great for building a snowman or having a good old fashioned snowball fight.
“Unlike the big snow storm we got in December, this snow has a lot of moisture in it, making it wet and heavy, perfect for some snow-packing fun tomorrow. However it will make the shoveling a bit harder on the back,” DiRocco told Sconda Blog.
Since he began working at Scott Honda 2-years-ago, the newly anointed Sconda
Weatherman has been a Mecca of weather information for the entire dealership, fielding question after question about the weather, but he never tires of it, he has loved the weather ever since he can remember.
“Meteorology has fascinated me since I was young,” DiRocco recalls. “As a little kid I would always get up in the middle of the night to see if it was snowing and usually I would catch that first snowflake coming down.”
DiRocco also has a good friend who is a Meteorologist at the National Weather Service (NOAA) in Tulsa, Okla. where he was lucky enough to receive a tour of the weather center. “I was like a kid in the candy shop,” he said. “Tornado sirens were going off,
satellite screens were everywhere, it was an awesome experience!”
Sconda Blog hopes this is the first of many forecasts from our very own weatherman Gregg
“Nor’easter” DiRocco.
Please remember to drive safe in this storm and avoid going out tonight at all if possible.
Too Funny!! He is the best though!
