Winter Storms

Winter storms are weather events characterized by a combination of severe winter weather phenomena, including snow, ice, sleet, and freezing rain. These storms typically occur during the colder months and can result in hazardous conditions such as reduced visibility, dangerous travel conditions, and significant accumulations of ice or snow. Winter storms can vary in intensity and duration, affecting large regions and sometimes leading to severe impacts on infrastructure, transportation, and daily activities. They can also lead to power outages due to ice accumulation on power lines. The National Weather Service and other meteorological organizations often issue warnings and advisories to inform the public of impending winter storm conditions.
