About this course
Winter weather is beautiful and deadly at the same time. Snowflakes fall from clouds that are entirely below freezing, ice coats roads and power lines when rain freezes on contact, and blizzards combine wind, snow and cold into storms that can shut down entire regions. This classroom explains the science of snow, the differences among snow, sleet, freezing rain and graupel, the anatomy of a blizzard, and the preparation and safety habits that turn a dangerous winter into a survivable one.
