Beyond the Forecast:
Best Practices in Winter Storm Mitigation
 

Winter storms create operational uncertainty that challenges even the most prepared utility teams.  

Tuesday, October 27, 2026 | 11 AM CT

Winter storms bring more than snow. Ice accretion, heavy wet snow, and extreme cold can quickly affect grid reliability, crew safety, and restoration efforts, making confident operational decision-making essential.

Join DTN experts to explore how utilities can move beyond traditional weather forecasts to make smarter, impact-based operational decisions. Learn best practices for interpreting forecast uncertainty, operationalizing probabilistic weather data, establishing weather-driven decision thresholds before winter begins, and coordinating crews and resources as conditions evolve.

In this webinar, you'll learn:

  • Why more weather data doesn't always lead to better operational decisions during winter storms

  • How to turn forecast uncertainty into confident crew staging and resource planning

  • How impact-based forecasting helps anticipate ice accretion, heavy wet snow loading, and extreme cold impacts

  • How probabilistic winter weather forecasts support asset prioritization, crew deployment, and restoration planning

  • How to establish operational decision thresholds before winter to improve preparedness and response

  • How to coordinate field operations from the earliest forecast through restoration as winter storm conditions change
