In June 2008 he was given the prestigious Silver Dome Award for best TV weathercast from the Illinois Broadcasters Association. He attended St. Edwards Grade School and Boylan High School here in Rockford before heading to Northern Illinois University. After receiving his Bachelor of Science Degree in Meteorology, Eric worked at KTRE-TV in Lufkin, Texas and KLTV in Tyler, Texas. His parents live in Belvidere and are loyal viewers every night. He has an older brother who lives in the Chicagoland area and a sister who watches WREX on a fuzzy tv up in East Troy, Wisconsin. He's happy to share his Rockford home with an 8 year old black lab named Theo. Around the station Theo's been nicknamed the "13 Weather Lab."

If anyone has any suggestions on judicious but optimal use of ice melt on sidewalks and driveways, please post.
I'd like to (a) minimize use of these products, while (b) keeping the sidewalks as safe as possible for my elderly neighbors.
Is it better to (a) pre-treat, before it even starts snowing (that's what my city does; they're out right now pre-treating the city streets), (b) wait until after the snow has fallen and then spread ice-melt on top of the snow after it starts raining, or (c) other? I'd sure like to avoid (d) go out and shovel in the rain before it starts icing over the top of the snow and then spread ice-melt, but (alas) I'm afraid that might actually be the most effective.
If anybody has good tips, please post!
