In his 55 years of life, Ed Piotrowski has never seen a blizzard --- until last week. The chief meteorologist at Myrtle Beach's WPDE-TV left behind the south and traveled to Boston, Massachusetts to experience his first and only blizzard.

He traveled with his wife Cindy, and shared adventures with fellow meteorologist Greg Fishel, who was previously the chief meteorologist at Raleigh's WRAL-TV.

Ed joins the Carolina Weather Group to tell us about his once-in-a-lifetime experience (which, of course, also came at a time when North Carolina and South Carolina were seeing their third straight weekend of winter weather here at home).

The National Weather Service officially considers a winter storm to be a blizzard when for 3 hours or longer there are sustained wind or frequent gusts to 35 miles an hour or greater; and considerable falling and/or blowing snow (i.e., reducing visibility frequently to less than ¼ mile)
