Flash flood safety rules:
Do you know what to do if you are trapped in the middle of a blizzard? If a Winter Storm Watch has been issued for your area, that means that hazardous winter weather conditions (such as snow greater than 6 inches in 12 hours) are expected in the next 12 to 36 hours. You should prepare for the worst now.
If a Winter Storm Warning has been issued for your area, dangerous winter weather conditions are expected or are already occuring.
