5 Things to Know about Winter Weather Forecasts

Winter will soon be here, as well as weather-guessers predicting massive snowstorms that never materialize and only serve to create a bread-run at the supermarket.  However, all joking aside, winter weather is something that should be taken seriously and prepared for.  Today’s infographic from the National Weather Service reminds us that winter storms can bring snow, sleet, and freezing rain across the entire country – even Hawaii gets snow on the Big Island.  Thousands of people are injured or killed every year in traffic accidents related to slippery roads from winter storms.  Stay safe…..drive safely…..Happy Friday!
