Winter Weather Terms You Should Be Familiar With
Though not all winter weather damage can be avoided, it’s smart to always be as prepared as possible. That starts with understanding the various terms used to describe weather events:
- Wind chill advisories are issued when wind chill temperatures are expected to pose a major inconvenience to life as a result of prolonged exposure. Caution should be exercised and prolonged exposure should be avoided.
- Wind chill warnings are issued when even a few minutes of exposure can be hazardous to one's health.
- Dense fog advisories mean that fog will reduce visibility to ¼ mile or less.
- Blizzard warnings are issued when the combination of falling or blowing snow combined with winds of over 35mph lead to visibilities at or below ¼ mile for at least three hours.
- Winter storm watches alert the public of the potential for heavy snow, freezing rain, heavy sleet, or blizzard conditions. Usually issued 12 to 48 hours prior to the start of a storm.
- Winter storm warnings are issued when extreme winter weather is expected, including heavy snow, heavy sleet, and heavy freezing rain. This is usually issued 12 to 24 hours prior.
Preparing for Winter Weather
Protect your home and family against a winter weather event. We have a few tips:
- Never run an electric generator indoors, near the air intake of your home, or inside the garage
- Always have a week’s worth of non-perishable food and water supply, as extreme cold can freeze your pipes
- Have an emergency kit that includes rock salt for melting ice, snow shovels, sand to increase traction, a sufficient supply of heating fuel, wood for your fireplace or stove, and adequate blankets and warm clothing
- Bring your pets inside during winter storms
