You would think that any seasoned weather reporter would have already learned this lesson, but during Winter Storm Titan, one reporter in New Jersey got a much-needed reminder to keep a safe distance from snow plows in action.
Steve Keeley of WTXF-TV in Philadelphia was blasted with a wall of snow from a plow while reporting from the side of the road in Woodstown, N.J., around 6:30 a.m. Monday.

The station posted a video of the incident, and since we know you want to see it, check out how he handled the hit:

Ok, we have to give it to him, Keeley handled it like a pro, as well he should have. WTXF said it's the fifteenth storm that the reporter has covered this winter alone.
Keeley said he was 20 feet from the road, which shows how far plows can throw snow at high speeds.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.
