In the pale blue, there is a lesser flood risk.

The town I live in has alot of ice on trees and structures and we are beginning to see an increase in power failures. I know there is a certain criteria that must me met whether or not to issue a winter storm warning or ice storm warning by the local weather office. Thoughts?
ReplyDeleteI commented on the same thing yesterday on the blog. You would have to ask the NWS.
