Meteorologist Henry Margusity issues a stark warning for a severe winter storm developing Friday night in the Southern Plains and tracking northeast through the weekend. While weak clipper systems are currently bringing light snow to the Midwest, a massive arctic high is pushing freezing air southward, setting the stage for a dangerous ice event across the South—including Atlanta, Shreveport, and Houston—where significant ice accumulation, power outages, and travel shutdowns are likely. As the system moves northward by Monday morning, it is expected to dump heavy snow along the I-95 corridor, […]

Are ice cleats safe to wear indoors? In most cases, the answer would be no, traditional ice cleats are designed for a sole purpose: preventing slip and fall incidents on icy surfaces. Picture an airport in the middle of January, someplace like Chicago that experiences brutal winters. The employees who work outdoors need footwear that will keep them slipping when they walk, so they put on a pair of ice cleats, allowing them to walk safely over slick surfaces. Once they get inside, it’s a whole different story. Read on to learn why most ice cleats are not meant for indoor wear, and to find out m[…]

Meteorologist Henry Margusity reports that the weather pattern remains stuck in a two-month-long cycle of weak "clipper" systems moving rapidly from Canada through the Great Lakes and into the Northeast. This relentless "conveyor belt" is bringing daily chances for snow showers and heavier squalls, including a system passing through today and another targeted for Tuesday night into Wednesday. While most areas will see only light coatings, heavier snow accumulations are expected across Upstate New York and Northern Michigan as these fast-moving disturbances continue to track east. The intensity[…]

What to look for in winter safety gear - and which brands safety teams rely on Harsh winters expose weak safety equipment fast. Ice, snow, freezing rain, and refreeze cycles create conditions where standard gear simply does not hold up. For safety managers, facility leaders, and procurement teams, choosing the right winter safety equipment brands is critical to reducing slip and fall incidents and keeping workers safe. This guide explains what makes winter safety equipment reliable and highlights trusted brands by category, so organizations can build an effective winter safety program for hars[…]

Meteorologist Henry Margusity forecasts a turbulent start to January 2026, beginning with a clipper system today that brings light snow to the Northeast. A more significant system is close behind, targeting the Great Lakes and Northeast from Tuesday night into Wednesday with heavier snow—particularly for Upstate New York and Northern Michigan—and a potential icy mix for New England. While a brief milder pattern may offer respite for some later this week, Margusity warns it will be short-lived as another storm targets the Midwest with roughly 4 inches of snow by Friday or Saturday. Looking furt[…]

Meteorologist Henry Margusity forecasts active winter weather leading into the holiday, starting with a system tracking into the Northeast tomorrow, December 23rd. This disturbance is expected to bring a general 1 to 4 inches of snow to the region, with locally higher amounts possible and a risk of ice accumulation across the Appalachians and south-central Pennsylvania. The system will likely bring snow into New York City and potentially as far south as Baltimore before transitioning to a wintry mix. Concurrently, a "Pineapple Connection" is streaming moisture into the West, dumping heavy snow[…]
