Covering Nemo

Last Year, Blizzard Nemo found its way to the Northeast corridor, dumping two to three feet of snow in some areas.  None were hit harder than the Hamden area as the town received a documented 40 inches of snow.

This was the same for Quinnipiac’s campus, as the clock tower and its off-campus houses on New Road were covered by the white stuff.

During the middle of the storm, through the raging winds and blowing snow, there stood a single person.  As the rest of Bobcat Nation was warm and cozy in their residence halls, one lone bobcat confronted the storm head on.

Camera in hand, Q30 Television’s Elijah Westbrook battled through the storm on Bobcat Way.  Westbrook was documenting the snowfall and trying to grab reactions from other QU students.  Elijah’s News Package is included below.

Now it’s roughly nine months removed from Nemo, and The Weather Channel decided that they wanted to look back on the storm.

Noted weather personality and major storm chaser Jim Cantore came to Quinnipiac’s campus to interview Elijah Westbrook and current Q30 General Manager Jon Alba about the student coverage of the storm.

Alba was stuck in his home in New Jersey for an extended time after he returned home to play in a show with his band, Seventh Son.

The two were featured during the 9 a.m. hour on The Weather Channel.  It was also fitting that Quinnipiac experienced a light snowfall that morning … the first snowfall of the current winter season.
