Winter Weather Logs
Winter weather is surprisingly one of my favorite types of severe weather to cover behind thunderstorms and tornadoes. And spending much of my adult life in the High Plains, I have seen some incredible snowstorms and blizzards. And my time living in the Midwest exposed me to some crazy ice storms.
My first major snowstorm, the Blizzard of '03 really cemented my love for crazy winter weather, and I am always game to get out and play in some good snow!
