AccuWeather's meteorologists provided the most advanced notice of the historic snowfall event earlier than our competitors providing businesses with much-needed time to be safer and prepare for disruptions to business operations days in advance.
Three days in advance of the snow and two days in advance of any other source, AccuWeather for Business issued its first Storm Potential Notice, allowing customers to use the AccuWeather AssetReport™. This exclusive report helped to automatically identify specific company assets at risk, including total snowfall amounts for each asset – critical for such a situation with sharp variations in snowfall over short distances.
AccuWeather's meteorologists issued the most accurate forecasts by predicting up to six feet south of Buffalo. In comparison, our competitors only predicted up to two feet of snow, then changed their predictions to non-specific "multiple feet."
AccuWeather also warned of dangerous impacts first by letting businesses know to plan for disruptions from heavy snow, causing major road and interstate closures, power outages, and possible roof damage.
