Winter Storm Warning Editorial Team
Our guides, city pages and winter-weather news are produced by the Winter Storm Warning editorial team — a small group focused on research, writing and fact-checking winter-weather safety information. We publish as a team rather than under individual bylines, and every page is checked against official meteorological sources before it goes live.
How we work
Each page starts from primary sources: official definitions and warning criteria from the National Weather Service and other national weather agencies, plus live forecast data from Open-Meteo. Live status, conditions and forecasts are generated automatically from those feeds; the explanatory content is written and edited by hand.
Accuracy
We check thresholds, definitions and local details against official guidance, and we keep our risk-index methodology transparent so you can see exactly how the 0–100 score is calculated. We would rather publish fewer, carefully-checked pages than a large volume of unreliable ones.
Review & updates
Live data refreshes continuously. Written content is reviewed when sources, criteria or our methodology change, and city and guide pages carry a last-updated date so you can see how current they are.
Corrections
If we get something wrong, we want to fix it. Email contact@winterstormwarning.org with the page and the issue and we will review it.
