Winter Storms

Winter storms are weather events characterized by low temperatures, significant snowfall, ice, and strong winds. They occur when moist air meets cold air, causing precipitation to freeze. These storms can result in blizzards, ice storms, and heavy snowfall, leading to hazardous conditions such as reduced visibility, icy roads, and power outages. The severity of a winter storm can vary widely, impacting travel, safety, and infrastructure. Forecasts and warnings from meteorological services help people prepare and stay safe during these challenging weather conditions.
