Winter Storm

A winter storm is a weather event characterized by a combination of snow, ice, sleet, and freezing rain, typically occurring in the winter months. These storms can lead to hazardous conditions, including heavy snowfall, significant ice accumulation, and reduced visibility. Winter storms can disrupt transportation and infrastructure, causing difficulties such as road closures and power outages. They are often classified based on their precipitation type and intensity, and they can vary widely in duration and impact, ranging from light snow showers to severe blizzards. The National Weather Service and other meteorological organizations issue winter storm warnings to alert the public about impending severe weather conditions.
