  3. Blizzards What is a Blizzard? A Blizzard is a massive winter storm that have a combination of blowing snow and very strong winds. When heavy snow is falling and it is very cold it can often make a blizzard, and when these conditions are expected the National Weather Service will give a “Blizzard warning”. When a less severe, but still dangerous, winter storm is expected a “winter storm watch” or “winter storm warning” may be issued. Always keep alert and stay tuned to a T.V, radio, and other sources of weather information. There might be a winter storm/blizzard coming or already occurring. Even though we live here in Torquay there might be one day we an unexpected one comes. CLICK HERE FOR BLIZZARD PICTURES

  5. HAIL Hail is lumps of ice that individually are called hail stones. Hail stones on Earth are mostly made of water ice and measure between 5 millimetres and 150 millimetres in diameter, with the bigger hail stones coming from really big thunderstorms. Hail is possible with most thunderstorms and is made by Cumulonimbi which are a type of thunder cloud. • Hail is normally formed in the higher places of the tropics. Hail is most likely to come in the summer months in the afternoon and evening hours of the day. • Hail storms normally last 3-15 minutes or more if it is a bigger thunderstorm. • So far it seems like the strong winds and not the "softball sized" balls of falling ice have done most of the damage. A tree fell on one person, another died when his mobile home rolled over, and a baby was blown down the street. Do giant hailstones ever kill anyone? • Yes, but it's very rare. Hailstorms have caused only a handful of deaths in the United States over the last 100 years or so. Believe it or not most of those killed were children. • Lots of hail storm comes when there is a tornado and that is even worse than a hailstorm. Click here for hail pictures
