Winter Weather Preparedness & Spotter Training Sessions

As we get ready for the 2024-2025 winter season, we are hosting three virtual winter weather preparedness and spotter training sessions via GoToWebinar. Registration is required and the session is free and open to everyone

The training sessions will be about 1 hour each on topics including cold weather headlines, snow squalls and winter weather safety, along with how to measure snow and ice. In addition, there will be plenty of opportunities for questions from the audience.

This is a great activity for anyone interested in winter weather regardless of age and experience level! Also, you need not live in the local area to attend. Information will be generalized for most locations in the Plains and Midwest (no mountain winter weather will be discussed).
