A weatherman for HLN lambasted Democratic Virginia Gov. Ralph Northam on air Wednesday morning for his comments on his state government’s response to heavy snowfall and massive traffic delays.
A snow-covered I-95 in Virginia left thousands of drivers stuck on the highway for several hours, with some trapped for more than a day. After HLN anchor Robin Meade said Northam insisted that his administration thought there would only be a few inches of snow, rather than a foot, meteorologist Bob Van Dillen called the governor out.
“Who’s the jackass that said that?” Van Dillen asked. “We had it pegged for like three days (in) advance. You knew it was going to be a lot of snow.”
“We were adding to it. Six to eight was the forecast, and they got about an extra four,” Van Dillen said. “Shut up, dude.”
The traffic problems began after a crash caused a buildup of cars. Democratic Virginia Sen. Tim Kaine remained trapped on the road for over 27 hours during the ordeal.
.. And the excuse that they could not salt was complete BS,
Once it turns to SNOW, you plow the slush out of the way and salt
At least that is what BUFFALO does and I am sure they know what they are doing.
The pile up on 13S in fruitland and every other ice rink you slid on, would have never happened if they had done their job
They are so cheap with the salt , and in the meantime YOU pay for every accident they created for not treating the roads.
It is funny to watch everyone on here act like they know what they are doing, making excuses, playing the expert when they have never actually been in a northern state in the winter.
People were already jammed on the interstate and they plows were not there. Perfect timing unfortunately.
Gov blackface is out in a few days. The “right” man will then take over. He too will be held accountable.
That POS Northam is History after he Ruined Virginia !!!!!! Eastern Shore should BAR him from Returning !!!!
