A mid-December snowstorm swept across the Northeast from Dec. 13-15, transforming towns from West Virginia to Massachusetts into winter wonderlands.

On Dec. 14, several inches of snow caused slick travel across the East Coast. In Washington, DC, and Baltimore, Maryland, AccuWeather Snow Warning Service™ customers received nearly two days of additional advance notice that a plowable snow event was approaching. AccuWeather provided the earliest, most accurate, and most consistent forecasts of any known source.

AccuWeather Snow Warning Service™ Performance

AccuWeather Snow Warning Service™ issues two tiers of alerts: Winter Storm Alerts and Snow Warnings. These warnings are issued by AccuWeather’s expert meteorologists, are location-specific and often provide significantly more advance notice than National Weather Service (NWS) alerts and all other known sources. AccuWeather differs from other services in that our alerts and warnings originate from our snow experts, unlike many others, which often simply repackage NWS advisories and warnings.
