AccuWeather warns businesses earlier, more accurately to the first major snowfall in New York City

‘STELLAR’ SNOW FORECAST 

In a snowless year for New York City, AccuWeather’s 100+ expert meteorologists warned earlier and more accurately about the city’s first snowfall of the season in February 2023. AccuWeather For Business’ forecasts, backed by Superior Accuracy™, were so spot on that WABC’S Lee Goldberg said, “We had a stellar forecast.” It wasn’t only New York City. AccuWeather forecasts were more accurate in Pennsylvania as well. 

Clients using AccuWeather’s Snow Warning Service were ahead of the snow. Not only were they alerted before, during, and after the storm, but they had access to one-on-one consultations with a meteorologist to update snowfall total amounts.  School district clients were able to correctly call virtual learning days, businesses were able to conserve salt, and plan for potential disruptions.
