Weather word of the week: flash freeze.
A flash freeze occurs when a strong cold front moves through with rain, then temperatures rapidly drop 20 to 40 degrees and the wet pavement freezes. This can cause roads to become slick quickly.

Weather word of the week: snow squall.
Snow squalls, often associated with strong cold fronts, are a key wintertime weather hazard. They move in and out quickly, & typically don’t last long. The sudden white-out conditions combined with falling temperatures produce icy roads in just a few minutes.

Snow is one of the most talked about aspects of weather, & can be very disruptive to the general public & businesses. Earlier this week, Blizzard Warnings & Winter Storm Warnings were hoisted for much of the Upper Midwest.
We compared the snowfall reports to major weather provider’s forecasts.
