Do You Know What These Winter Weather Terms Mean
The National Weather Service in Albany last week shared some vital information for those of us who want to Travel this winter. If you are planning to Travel for the holidays, you might want to read through what I am sharing below about Winter weather.
Last week during Winter Weather Awareness Week for New York and New England the US National Weather Service in Albany New York shared with us some very helpful tips for us to keep in mind this winter.
What Are The Different Weather Terms for Winter Weather
I like to Travel in the winter. I love getting out on the road but you do have to keep an eye on the weather. My husband's favorite line to me when I say we are going somewhere in the dead of Winter is "Weather Permitting".
But let's face it we all can't always sit around and wait for the weather to clear. Sometimes you have to get on the road. Therefore it is good to understand winter weather terms so you can be prepared. Understanding winter weather warnings and advisories is key to planning any kind of winter weather Travel, plane train or automobile.
NOAA Breakdown of What We Need to Know About Winter Weather Announcements
The US National Weather Service in Albany New York broke it down in a Facebook post last week. Not only did they explain watches and advisories but they even explained things like Lake Effect Snow.
The important thing to remember if you are planning to Travel or even when you plan to stay home is that the National Weather Service also known as NOAA is ready with weather information for you 24/7/365.
If it is a Blizzard Warning stay home and off the roads. A Winter Storm Warning is similar to a blizzard in the way but it is considered less volatile. Still, probably a good idea to delay Travel. Lastly, a Winter Weather Advisory also warns of an upcoming storm but doesn't necessarily mean you need to alter your Travel plans.
