Our Coverage Area

Winter Weather Alert Service:

Tailored for those who want early warnings for any significant weather system moving into their specific county during the entirety of the winter season, November 1st, 2023 through March 31st, 2024, or last snowfall whichever comes first. All for a seasonal rate of $34.99 for one county monitoring, or $44.99 for two county monitoring. The Winter Weather Alert option provides advanced notice of:

• Winter Storms – Up to 4 days notice with daily updates thereafter leading up to the storm, and updates with any changes to previous text forecasts as needed during the storm (in real-time) until storm passes
• Light snow (less than 3") – Up to 2 days notice with daily updates thereafter leading up to the snowfall, and updates with any changes to previous text forecasts as needed during the storm (in real-time) until storm passes
• Heavy Rain – Up to 2 days’ notice of rain totaling over .50" within a 12 hour period
• Ice Conditions – Any threat of ice, and accrual amounts
• Snow Consistency – Wet vs. dry/powdery
• Specific timing for your area, including start/end times, and changeover times to other forms of precipitation, if applicable
• Wind – 1 day notice for wind gusts 40mph or greater

All that you need:  A cell phone that is capable of receiving text messages. This service is not for landline phones or email.

Alerts are a subscription-based service, and although it remains a seasonal program (November 1st, 2023 through March 31st, 2024) the subscription will renew automatically the following year on November 1st. There will no longer be a need to sign up individually for the service(s) every year as long as the payment source on file is current, and prior notification to cancel was not given prior to the product’s renewal in subsequent Winters. 

Ordering Winter Weather Alerts, Premium Forum, or bundle packages

If you often commute across county borders for work, and would like to monitor two counties instead of just one for the Winter months only, select the button below to order. Everything works the same as the one county alerts otherwise, and will cover the entirety of the 2023-2024 Winter season, for just one payment of $44.99! Alerts will expire March 31st, 2024 or last snowfall, whichever comes first, but will renew the following season(s) unless cancelled prior.
