Episode Description

This week marks the official start of winter, arguably the most polarizing season of all. While some enjoy the spirit of the holidays, others bemoan the short, cold days. While some love the sight of fresh snow on the ground, others dread having to break out the the snow shovels and ice scrapers again.

Regardless of how you feel about winter, there's a lot of weather to talk about, so this week the Lee Weather Team breaks down their top 10 things to know about the season. From how snow forms, why wind makes cold weather feel so much worse, winter storm safety, to a rare form of precipitation called graupel, it's a discussion of the most important and interesting things about winter.

We want to hear from you!
