CLEVELAND -- We've been forecasting deep snow and treacherous conditions well before the Weather Channel came to town, but you know when the Weather Channel commits it's resources to a live location, it's going to be big.
The travel crew set up in front of Progressive Field downtown. They thought it would be appropriate, since Opening Day is just three weeks away.
Meteorologist Mike Seidel of the Weather Channel has for 20 years forecasted the dreary in lovely little towns all over the country. Now he's in ours.
Seidel and his team have had a busy winter season, with 22 days on the road in January. This is his seventh straight day this month.
"We're looking for six to ten inches of snow," Seidel said.
The crew will work the night shift, sleep a few hours, then get back up for what is expected to be a blustery morning commute. As gigs go, Seidel enjoys Cleveland, even under a foot of snow.
"You got a lot to do here. There are great restaurants and the the Rock Hall. I got a lot of friends out in the east suburbs, like Beachwood," Seidel said.
The Weather Channel will broadcast from several Cleveland locations, starting Friday morning at 6 a.m.
