Hey Meteorologist You Got the Wind Direction Wrong!
This webinar explains the importance of understanding a surface low. If you live from the Rockies to the east coast, this session is for you! We discuss what to watch for in a winter weather forecast, how to gauge the chances your forecast will be right, and why wind direction is so important in monitoring weather conditions. There are all sorts of high-tech models that can try to get it right, but sometimes just knowing the basics of meteorology is all you need. Enter your contact details to view the recording:
Let’s Talk About Surface Transportation’s Biggest Fear: Freezing Rain
More and more locations in North America are seeing freezing rain; this session does not discuss why, but instead talks about what to do about this most troubling condition. Freezing rain and drizzle can lock down a city or an airport very quickly, so it is important to understand how these conditions can occur so you can give yourself the biggest lead time. In this session, we discuss how freezing rain occurs, why it is not easy to get all the conditions "just right," and what tools are available for you to make the best decision possible.

How to Handle a Wrong Forecast
In the world of winter maintenance, a wrong weather forecast is much more than just a punch line, it causes a lot of stress, and sometimes results in bad decisions by winter maintenance supervisors. Accepting wrong weather forecasts is one way to handle the problem, making fun of the meteorologist is another, but it still does not improve your situation. Instead, there are things you can do to help you understand when a forecast might go wrong hours, maybe even days, before the storm. This discussion covers simple things you can do to understand how to still make good decisions, even when the forecast is not working out.
Pavement Weather is All that Matters
If you are responsible for keeping a roadway or a runway clear of winter weather, pavement weather is the only thing that matters. The technology and the science have come pretty far in 40 years and most of us use it to some level, but are you using it correctly? This session covers pavement temperature and pavement condition, how to best measure them, how to use the information to make the best decisions, and where the technology might go in the future. Watch this 30-minute session packed with information on everything you need to know - from current pavement conditions to pavement forecasts.
Weather Myths vs. Facts
Have you always wondered about those weather folklores you heard from your parents or grandparents? Ever wonder if there is any truth in those famous sayings? This light-hearted session covers weather folklore and the truths buried in them. And we promise this 30-minute session still provides weather information to help you make decisions any time over the course of the year!
