Description:Communicating the threat of severe winter weather goes beyond just amounts of snow or ice accumulation or how cold the temperature will be - an understanding of the impacts of winter weather conditions is also important. The Winter Storm Severity Index (WSSI) is a product from the National Weather Service’s Weather Prediction Center (WPC) that presents anticipated impacts from forecasted winter weather for a range of winter conditions in a graphical format. To assess the utility of the WSSI and how an impact-based winter weather forecast product is interpreted and used to inform decision-making, a mixed-methods social science study was conducted by the Nurture Nature Center in coordination with the WPC from 2020-2022.
