[Craig Allen @CraigAllenWx]

@nysdotli Creative. But what happened to all the VMB signs along the NSP? They were taken down along with the gantries over a year ago? Those little portable ones on the shoulder usually never show any message or are illegible. Hopefully they're being replaced.!!!

@GarofaloWX Now you're talking my language! Alex would be proud of you too.

[Craig Allen @CraigAllenWx]

@nysdotli s/b & n/b M1-M5 needs repaving; M5-M6 needs a complete new roadbed. Worn down to slippery glass in rain. Please stop painting lines on seams and joints. The road always crumbles there! You fill the pot holes and then no lane stripes to be seen. Guiderails are destroyed too.

[Craig Allen @CraigAllenWx]

@nysdotli I'm happy to see this and all the lane miles being repaved. BUT, why has the MSP become the neglected step-child of @NYSDOTLI. ? It's great south of M9 but the rest is crumbling concrete and asphalt. The concrete from M6-M5 is from the 1930's!!! The last repairs fixed about 25%.

@Barrybi18432164 All suburbs N & NE rcvd 4-9" and that also was the highest for Dec in over 4 years. South of I-80, only 2-4 b/c of sleet. The key is, make sure you ignore the tremendous amt of misinfo and hype that these social-media mets post. I know our CBS2 folks made sure to word it that way

[Craig Allen @CraigAllenWx]

@Barrybi18432164 Hi Barry. Anyone talking about record snowfall were the ones who were spewing crap. My colleagues and I and the anchors were saying it was going to be the biggest storm in over 3 years. We got 4.3" in the City so indeed, the headline was correct; ----cont'd

[Craig Allen @CraigAllenWx]

@PhilKonigsberg And I ironic too because I happened to mention Bayside this morning as well. I lived in the same building.
Again, my condolences

[Craig Allen @CraigAllenWx]

@PhilKonigsberg Oh how sad Phil. And I was back on air this morning and wondered if he saw me. He frequently texted to tell me he got the people in the building to watch CBS2. May he rest in peace and bring blessings to his family
