Winter Storm’s Real Threat Begins After The Snow Hits Roads
US · Published Jan 23, 2026
Icy roads and black ice pose significant risks to drivers and pedestrians after a winter storm.
Power outages due to heavy snow and ice can lead to dangerous conditions during extreme cold.
Prolonged freezing temperatures after a storm can turn snow into a hidden threat, requiring continued caution.
Dangers persist well after the snowfall
The real threat of a winter storm often begins after the snow stops falling. While the snowfall itself can cause immediate disruptions, the extended period of freezing temperatures that follows is what truly makes these storms dangerous. Roads, bridges, and sidewalks transform into treacherous sheets of ice, creating hazardous conditions for drivers and pedestrians alike.
