Wintertime Activations
Level II
For Winter Weather Advisories, hourly or bi-hourly activations for Snowfall Reports, Road Conditions and any type of damage can be forwarded. Also, location of the snow/ice/rain line can be forwarded, as it is difficult to detect on radar. Final reports on snowfall or after a changeover to rain can be forwarded.
Level I:
If Blizzard Warnings, High Wind Warnings, Coastal Flood Warnings, Winter Storm and Flood Warnings are issued for the region, this will require at least hourly activation of SKYWARN, and perhaps formal directed net mode if reports of damage and weather warrant. Snowfall, rainfall, and damage reports as well as the rain/ice/snow line should be reported.
