After earning the title of “Snowiest City in the U.S.” (with populations of more than 100,000) for the 2013-2014 winter season, many Erie residents held on to the tiny hope that maybe we would catch a break this winter. 

 

Those hopes were quickly dashed on Thursday, Nov. 14, when Erie received 11.8 inches of snow – marking the first snowfall of the season.

 

Then, with predictions of lake effect storms expecting to drop more than a foot of snow in the Erie region, crews from The Weather Channel and ABC News made their way to Erie to follow the winter storm. 

 

One of the crew members included Erie native Dylan Dreyer who got her start reporting for WICU-TV.  Dreyer and her team broadcasted live from Erie’s Bayfront, giving a glimpse of Erie’s winter weather to viewers nationwide.
