Winter Storms

Winter storms are severe weather events that occur during the winter season, characterized by a combination of snow, ice, sleet, freezing rain, and strong winds. These storms can lead to hazardous conditions such as heavy snowfall, ice accumulation, low visibility, and dangerously cold temperatures. Winter storms can disrupt transportation, cause power outages, and pose serious risks to health and safety. They are classified based on their intensity and the specific types of precipitation involved, often resulting in travel advisories and emergency responses. Examples include blizzards, ice storms, and snowstorms, each presenting unique challenges and impacts on communities.
