The snow from the "bomb cyclone" may be done falling, but those snowflakes are being replaced by falling and freezing temperatures. Meteorologists Mace Michael and Dan Leonard join Cheddar to go over what to expect this weekend and how businesses are fairing in these temps.
Mace Michael reviews the freezing cold temps the East Coast will be experiencing this weekend. For areas like Boston which experienced significant coastal flooding from the precipitation, freezing temperatures will create even more problems.
Dan Leonard reviews how businesses are impacted when major weather like this occurs. Leonard says that restaurants experience less foot traffic but higher demand for delivery. He also anticipates streaming services and on-demand video demands to go up.
Leonard also explains how IBM Watson technology has improved their meteorology technology and weather analysis. Watson is able to predict and track storms two to three days out, which is critical to storm safety.
