Winter Weather Awareness Week November 15-19, 2021

 

Winter Awareness Week is jointly sponsored by the State of Wisconsin Emergency Management team and the National Weather Service Offices that serve Wisconsin. Everyone is encouraged to participate in the planned events and become more aware of the dangers of winter weather in Wisconsin. Winter hazards include heavy snows, blizzards, ice storms, extreme cold and low wind chills, widespread high winds, glazing of freezing drizzle or freezing rain, dense fog, and indirectly the effects of carbon monoxide poisoning.
