Why Winter Storms Flip Between Snow, Sleet, Ice, And Deep Cold
• Winter storms produce varied precipitation (snow, sleet, freezing rain) based on atmospheric temperature layers.
• Freezing rain is often the most destructive form of winter precipitation due to ice accumulation.
• Extreme cold during winter storms increases the risk of hypothermia and frostbite.
Winter storms and atmospheric temperature profiles
Winter storms are complex events, capable of unleashing a variety of precipitation types and extreme temperatures. Understanding why these storms flip between snow, sleet, ice, and deep cold requires a grasp of atmospheric temperature profiles.
