"Cleanup continues the roadways are open, water has receded, I'm going to go check out River Road where we had to rescue a 77 year old woman today. Make sure you take care, stay safe, drive safe and bundle up, it's cold outside especially with the way the wind is blowing."

"It is blowing snow, you are going to run into visibility issues so make sure you slow down and drive to the conditions."
