Snowstorms

Snowstorms are weather events characterized by significant amounts of snowfall, often accompanied by strong winds and low visibility. These storms can produce heavy accumulations of snow, leading to hazardous travel conditions, disruptions in transportation, and potential damage to infrastructure. Snowstorms are typically defined by specific criteria, including the intensity of the snowfall and the duration of the storm. In addition to snow, they may bring freezing rain or sleet, further complicating conditions. Snowstorms can vary in size and severity, ranging from localized flurries to widespread blizzards that impact large areas. Such weather phenomena often occur in winter months and are influenced by meteorological factors such as temperature, humidity, and atmospheric pressure. They can pose risks to safety, requiring preparedness and caution for individuals in affected regions.
