Emergency Managers and Federal/State/Local Agency Decision Makers, With winter weather right around the corner, we wanted to make sure each of you were aware of various NWS produced winter weather focused products that are available to you to assist in your planning and decision making process. The attached guide provides a summary of what is available, whether it's a situation about making decisions about a winter storm that is 12 hours from beginning or being able to have an awareness for the risk of significant winter storms 14 days from now --- and everything in between. The full suite of NWS winter product services that are available to you come from the collective expertise and experience of the meteorologists here at the NWS Boston office, our neighboring sister offices in Albany, Brookhaven/NYC and our national center offices (Weather Prediction Center and the Climate Prediction Center). Given the number of different products that each focus on providing the best information for the different types of needs (eg: tactical decision making, strategic decision making or just situational awareness), the Winter Weather Program team here at the office felt that having a guide to summarize those products would be very beneficial -- and the attached guide is a result of their work. Please share with others in your organization as you see the need. The URLs are included in the document, however many can be accessed from our winter weather page: https://www.weather.gov/box/winter If you have any questions or comments, please do not hesitate to reach out to me or the members of the office Winter Weather Program Team (Andrew Loconto, Bryce Williams, Frank Nocera, Hayden Frank) who I have included on this email.
