'25-'26 Winter Storm #10
Date: 18 Jan 10:31 AM
Votes: Good: 9
Bad: 0 Abstain: 0
After a period of not much in the way of winter weather, the winter season has returned fully with numerous rounds of brief snow showers, strong winds, and bitter cold temperatures. It is difficult to partition these numerous rounds of snow into individual storm events, so the featured map presents a smoothed analysis of available reports over the past two to three days. While totals have been generally light, the snow showers have been sometimes quite intense leading to hazardous driving conditions as visibility rapidly changes whilst driving along. Another round of snow is likely today along with very cold temperatures overnight into Monday. The cold weather looks to stick around for the week.
