The winter storm battle in the Southeast is usually confined to an 8-10 week period. Forecasting for this region can be troublesome as a small variance in temperature of only 1 to 2 degrees can impact road conditions.

Join in this discussion of how public works departments in the Southeast meet this challenge.

Learning Objectives:

Make confident decisions when planning for the uncertainties of weather events.
Develop training and scheduling procedures for short-term winter weather events.
