I started tuning around the FMBCB and AMBCB on a portable. Not one report of local conditions on the commercial stations. NOAA weather radio was useless in the situation as well. I would be interested in local reports and updates. Two meter repeaters were quiet. Need an updated scanner if I want to listen to public safety and work crews.
Twenty one degrees is the forecast for tonight. Thirty degrees last night in all the mess.
