Winter Weather Preparedness & Spotter Training Sessions

As we get ready for the 2024-2025 winter season, we are hosting two 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 1 hour and 30 minutes each on topics including winter weather science, safety, NWS products, and 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).

Tuesday October 22nd: 7:00 to 8:30 PM CDT | Registration Link: Registration (gotowebinar.com)

Thursday November 14th: 7:00 to 8:30 PM CST | Registration Link: Registration (gotowebinar.com)

(Both sessions are the same)
