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[…]

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[…]

A practical guide for separating fact from fiction in winter safety Slips and falls are one of the most common workplace injuries during winter. Yet many organizations still rely on outdated beliefs that unintentionally increase risk. These myths lead to underestimating hazards, misusing equipment, and assuming workers are safer than they truly are. Myth 1: “We use salt, so we are covered” Reality: Salt helps, but it is not a complete solution. Salt becomes ineffective when temperatures fall below certain levels. Even when applied correctly, refreezing happens overnight, shaded areas remain sl[…]

A modern look at equipment design, and inclusive protection Women are joining industrial and field based roles in greater numbers than ever before. From construction and utilities to warehousing, transportation, and field service, the workforce is becoming more diverse and more skilled. As this shift continues, one area that has not kept pace is winter safety. Winter hazards do not impact everyone equally. When PPE, footwear, and safety policies are built around a male dominated workforce, women are left with equipment that fits poorly, performs inconsistently, and increases their risk of inju[…]

Who doesn't love winter? With the snow falling gently from the sky, it transforms the world into a picturesque wonderland. It's a time when families come together, hot cocoa is sipped by the fireplace, and memories are made. However, not everyone shares the same sentiment when it comes to winter. For safety professionals, the arrival of winter brings with it a sense of apprehension and concern. As the temperature drops and the ground becomes covered in a blanket of snow and ice, slips and falls become a common occurrence. This is especially worrisome for safety professionals whose main priorit[…]
