What's this? Who decides the dates? If there's nothing previously published about winter storm "seasons" having dates, I don't see how anyone could take two random dates in violation of WP:NOR? Are there sources? Also, this isn't related to the 2006 AHS. – Ch acor 04:58, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
I'm copying the event discussions used on the Tornadoes of 2006 discussion page; seems reasonable to include them here as well. It looks like the first widespread snow event of the season appears to be on its way for the mountains of the Pacific Northwest. Snow is expected to fall as far south as central Colorado and maybe even southern Colorodo. If a widespread significant snow event in fact does occur with appreciable accumulations, it will be the first event addition to this article. bob rulz 05:06, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
Brett Anderson [1] from Accuweather.com said that there were reports of 20-25 cm in the mountains of Alberta. But it is a blog, but will it be good to add that reference. -- JForget 01:57, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
Another winter storm is moving into the West. Up to a foot of snow is expected in the mountains of Utah and Wyoming, and 1-2 feet in the mountains of Colorado. Haven't seen any snow totals yet. bob rulz 04:59, 22 September 2006 (UTC)
First winter storm for the Upper Peninsula of Michigan; 1-2 feet of snow is currently forecast for the most favorable areas. bob rulz 22:30, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
Someone else made the article Lake Storm "Aphid". While it should be renamed ( October 2006 Buffalo storm or something like that), I think we should build it up. It is older but poorly-linked. I was looking to see if one existed. CrazyC83 19:18, 22 November 2006 (UTC)
Huge blizzard expected to drop up to a foot of snow on the Front Range of Colorado, and perhaps 2 feet in the mountains. It'll be interesting to see how this turns out; Denver snowstorms especially have a tendency to be unpredictable. bob rulz 02:24, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
Early models seem to be picking up a potential double-whammy, with severe snow in the northern Plains. (Combined with the severe weather farther south, see Talk:Tornadoes of 2006#November 27-December 1 for that part) CrazyC83 03:44, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
Changed date to reflect the storm now moving onshore (and expected to drop 1-2 feet of snow in the Cascades and Sierra Nevada today). bob rulz 10:50, 26 November 2006 (UTC)
As for an article for this, I think it should be considered...although I do want to wait and see what happens beneath the cold front - the blizzards in the Northwest almost warrant one. CrazyC83 02:43, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
Should because of the impact on the Coast, especially Vancouver, they rarely see snow during the winter and even less in November and even less in that magnitude in November. 50 centimetres in some suburbs of Vancouver is quite unusual.
I've added the Midwest, Great Lakes and yes... Eastern Ontario event in the same sub-section, considering the storm will be connecting to the same that caused all the mess in B.C and in the Prairies. Should it still have though a separate sub-section?-- JForget 00:32, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
I liked how parts of Oklahoma had an active Tornado Watch and Winter Storm Warning silmultaneously. I hear that Joe Bastardi is thinking about 10-20 inches 75 miles on either side of the line from Tulsa to the Saginaw, calling it equal — for some — to the Feb 2006 NYC Blizzard, one of the greatest of all time. — BazookaJoe 01:11, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
I'm going to recommend an article: Late November 2006 North American Storm Complex so that it covers the blizzard, ice storm and possible tornado outbreak/derecho. Also the North American blizzard of 2006 should be moved to North American blizzard of February 2006. CrazyC83 06:56, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
Latest guidance may suggest a winter storm for some areas in the eastern half of the continent by late week or in the weekend. Right it is hitting the Rockies, and tommorrow the Panhandles. Watches are in effect for South Dakota and Nebraska and looks like the Twin Cities will be hitThis will likely be the last chance for a white Christmas, but it is unsure who will get hit with what. Chances of a white Christmas in Ottawa according to Accuweather.com is 70%, one of the highest probability in eastern Canada.
Well looks like a new storm will form and hit the northeast on the 25th and 26th. Most of I-95 will see rain although the Great Lakes may finally see some snow. It has been bare (with a few exceptions) since the beginning.-- JForget 12:18, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
It appears that an area in southern Ontario from just north of Toronto to about Ottawa may receive as much as a foot of snow Monday night into Tuesday. We could finally taste some snow here.-- JForget 01:06, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
The storm was a dud, I think the system didn't had as much cold air and moisture as expected, so highest amounts were possibly around 6 inches and it was mostly wet and slushy snow mixed at times with rain. No need to mention it unless there were reports in the States (i.e Ohio Valley)-- JForget 03:23, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
New blizzard for the Front Range and Central Plains. Man, two major blizzards in 1 week! bob rulz 01:54, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
This one will be a slow mover and may impact eastern portions of the continent by New Year's Day. Probably it will be a similar scenario as the December 25-26 system - it means it will depend on how much colder air it will have. So it may well last beyond the 31st this system. Wish that type of weather would of hit in Ontario-- JForget 03:25, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
The entry for this storm just pisses me off. Not a single mention of Nebraska, which received the worst Ice Storm ever recorded in the state. Power was out for weeks to some rural customers, a town of 6,000 people was without power for a week and ran on generators for a further two weeks, and thousands of miles of power lines and transmission lines had to be repaired or rebuilt from scratch. Tens of thousands of wooden power poles had to be replaced, and the final repairs on the power grid were not made until October of 2007, over nine months after the storm hit. Some locations received over 4 inches of freezing rain from this storm. Nowhere else in the "Texas Panhandle into South Dakota" area had as much ice accumulation as south-central Nebraska, and yet the state's not even mentioned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Toroca ( talk • contribs) 21:40, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
While reading this blog, there have possibilities that a wicked snow storm may impact the Great Lakes region by the end of the weekend. Right now, it is expecting to hit Colorado with yet more snow and then will tap out some Gulf moisture before heading northeast across the Great Lakes/Ohio Valley area. There would be a huge contrast between both sides of the low as probably we may have some 50s and 60s (perhaps 70s) on the warm side and some teen's or 20's on the north side (with possibly sub-zeros next week in some areas). For those following tornadoes, there could be some of that, but probably the big story will probably be several big cities being hit with heavy snow from Saturday to Monday. Right now, areas such as Chicago, Detroit, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal may be hit hard. But that's remains to be seen and if the story materialized, this could article-worthy.
For folks in the I-95, maybe there is something for the 20th, but that's way ahead, so I won't talk about it now, but could be a head's up.

I haven't used blogs for my contributions for that storm, it came from the Ottawa Sun, CNN, CBC and TVA Also, Probably the BBC have omitted fatalities in Canada because there have been two so far and CNN also omitted those in their articles. I had to check local (Ottawa) and Quebec media to find the news on fatalities in those areas.-- JForget 01:38, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
As Texas had more then enough of freezing rain, looks like another potent event is in store for Texas as another storm will brew across the Deep South late this week. Right now, it seems Dallas, Austin and San Antonio may be affected. It looks like another big winter event for the Midwest for the weekend. -- JForget 21:25, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
Wow, this was quite wild. 132 deaths (so far) worldwide in one week...little did we see this coming! That is an awful lot for a winter storm. Prayers go out to all of the 132+ that have lost their lives and everyone around them...
At this rate, the North American total may exceed 100, seeing that we have nothing out of Mexico at this point... CrazyC83 16:43, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
Even though it is localized, does this warrants an article. 300 cm of snow that's impressive in one week. I hope there will be more information about areas of Michigan and Ontario, as some areas really got hit hard there too as well.-- JForget 16:17, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
This looks quite big this week, I hope it goes even further north (as the trend seems to be lately) so maybe eastern Ontario would get hit. Maybe that will be article warrant. It is still a good 72-96 hours away. It looks like it is most of New England that will get hit and parts of the Mid-Atlantic. Although I've seen in the past that storms that was forecasted to hit New York ended up in Ontario. In this one, we may need a 100-150 mile shift further north and west-- JForget 16:49, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
Update: Looks like I'm right, my area (Ottawa) is currently in the 6-12 inches area with a 18 inches zone just 150 miles to the east.-- JForget 21:46, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
(Canada) O.K, right now anywhere from Kingston/Ottawa to western New Brunswick is going to be near-blizzard to blizzard conditions - Pretty much a guaranteed of 8 + inches everywhere with as much as 2 feet locally. Heard and read that the track was even more to the west (so maybe my area could get also 1 foot). Also Western shores of Lake Ontario (Hamilton) may get 2 feet of snow due to lake enhancement.
(U.S) This could be quite significant for an article with the ice forecast for the I-95 area north of Philadelphia not to mention we have tornadoes in the South.-- JForget 20:29, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
A huge storm has arrived on the Pacific coast and is expected to drop as much as 3 feet in the Sierras and 1-2 feet in the mountains around Los Angeles. It will move east and turn into a major winter storm for the central Plains, extending in a swath through the northern Great Lakes, with ice and snow possible in the mid-Atlantic and New England by Sunday. Severe weather is also expected in the South. bob rulz 07:09, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Another huge storm is expected to move onshore on Tuesday morning (the 27th) and could add several more feet of snow to the mountains there; it could also lead to a significant winter storm in the northern Plains and Upper Midwest by early March. bob rulz 04:50, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
And this time, it looks like it will not split in the Great Lakes region like the other one - maybe finally the Toronto-Ottawa-Montreal area will finally get a big one (long overdue), although I'm concerned for some ice mixed here. -- JForget 21:10, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
Could be a good-sized storm for the majority of the Rocky Mountain and northern High Plains region. The Billings-Sheridan area could see up to 2 feet of snow from this storm, while some mountain areas will see up to 3 feet. bob rulz 08:07, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
Looks a major storm possibly nor'easter will hit the northeastern part of the continent, but looks like the Appalachians will a lot of snow which may extend the ski season quite a bit.

I was wondering if an article on all the mess this storm created (flooding, tornadoes, damaging wind, storm surge, snow storm and various effects) would be justified.

While I agree that we should have references, a problem comes up when we reference AccuWeather; they don't keep archives. Tomorrow, when all of the news headlines change, that reference will probably link to something completely different. Also (I know, this probably counts as original research), AccuWeather tends to severely underestimate snow totals, especially in the West, and are always lower than NWS advisories. bob rulz 05:40, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

I know it's not a "storm" per se, but I believe the recent deep freeze in the Upper Midwest and Northeastern U.S. qualifies as severe winter weather in my mind. Some of the coldest temperatures in over 10 years have been occurring, and I've seen one report say 6 people have died alreday. Many schools have also closed based on the cold alone. There has also been moderate lake effect snow activity, on the eastern sides of the Great Lakes, adding to the situation. Should we create a new article or just put a blurb in about it?

Well, I've added the winter storm associated with Hurricane Noel that affected portions of Quebec and maybe Maine today (some of you should check the Caribou, Maine NWS for that if there were amounts. Maybe snows in Denver, Colorado prior to the World Series and a winter storm in extreme northern Ontario earlier this week can be added (and Prince George, British Columbia also had quite a bit of snow of the past few days), but I know little about storms elsewhere - maybe there was one in eastern Europe not too long ago, but I have no info, since I've seen last week there was a large area that had snow in the forecast last week.

Yeah, I know, and then the GFS has a nor'easter with possible snow as of the 6z run. Go to this website [ [5]] which is an accuweather meteorologists blog mostly about the long-range GFS.
Now, about the hurricane noel snowstorm, I think that there is way to much mention about the actual hurricane itself, not about the snowstorm. Juliancolton 14:34, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

A major ice storm is underway across a large section of the U.S. Could be article worthy. --- CWY2190 T C 19:09, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
If there are major effects across several areas like last week's two big storms although it is certainly worth to mention it in this article with the snows in Colorado and the ice further east. Several storms (up to four storms) are expected/forecasted from yesterday to about the 17th or 18th, storms getting stronger and stronger by weeks end and most of them taking the same general path except maybe the last one where the GFS blows one storm off the Atlantic Coast. This may potentially result as a similar article then January 2007 North American ice storm when there was a series of ice and snow storms from Texas to Newfoundland. We may have a similar situation for this week although not sure if the ice will be as destructive and deadly as last year's.
If you fell it is article worthy, you can build a sub-user page and if the series of storms for this week are quite bad, we could build up an article for all those storms.-- JForget 19:51, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
Well, I think it might be a worthy article, depending on how severe the storm is. I live in New York, and they are predicting a major ice storm for me, so if it is bad, I will be able to see it first-hand.
And now for the 17 GFs storm, it now forecasts the storm cutting up throught the great lakes, but the EURO has a major nor'easter for the 17\18th. Juliancolton ( talk) 20:22, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
Regarding my last comment: at my house we got about 0.20 inches of ice. Just thought you might want to know.
And the ice that is still to come is from a different storm, so if it does cause more damage, then should they have two seperate articles? Juliancolton ( talk) 13:25, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Starting up a new talk discussion section, but the GFS shows a big storm for the Northeast with eastern Ontario, southern Quebec abd Northern New England being the target spot.

No, write a separate article for the 17th superstorm. Juliancolton ( talk) 19:29, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Does anyone had articles on storms that hit Western Canada so far this season, I know there have been several of those which did some extensive wind damage in the BC Coast for example. Maybe the biggest storm in the west should be mentionned here since it did produced heavy snow locally (such as Whistler).-- JForget 19:39, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
While this week looks to be relatively quiet, with the exception of the Pacific Northwest, it looks like a major winter storm could be taking place this weekend, particularly on Sunday, December 23, when much of the Midwest, Great Lakes, and Northeast could again see over half a foot of snowfall. Take a look at this map for what we could see on Sunday, and feel free to navigate the other days. Accuweather is usually pretty conservative with their snowfall estimates, so this could mean serious business. Just a head's up for everyone. Another article will likely be needed (once it happens) for this storm or series of storms occurring in late December. Abog ( talk) 03:29, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

I've officially suffered from a case of winter storm overload. There have been so many storms in the western U.S. over such a short time span over this last week of January that it's difficult to differentiate between them, and it's difficult to find storm totals for separate storms and when certain storms affected different areas. To resolve this, I think I'm just going to combine all of these storms into one single headline in the main section. So many deaths from avalanches, accidents, feet of snow in the Cascades and Sierra Nevada, heavy snows in the Spokane area, snow on the Oregon coast, up to 6 feet of snow in the Sierra Nevada, and of course underreporting of snow in the Intermountain West and Great Basin, and Utah (as always)...it's getting hard to differentiate between this storms and what area was slammed by how much when and what deaths occurred where on what dates...anyway, some help in organizing this would be appreciated. Stories on major websites, local newspapers, and AccuWeather (since they keep archives) are generally the most helpful. Significant work is also needed in trimming down and consolidating a lot of these references. We don't need almost 100 references for this article, especially since it's only the beginning of February. bob rulz ( talk) 08:13, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Well additionnal detail about other storms (particularly the one just over a week although itself may be warranted an article)) can be added in the existing article about the early month's storm although it would likely have to be renamed for Jaunary 2008 Western North America winter storms.
As for the numerous references, unfortunately some of them are mentionning only some details while others are mentionning other things and for example CNN articles new and different stuff is added on each article. One thing I've notice from the recent winter storm is that one CNN article mentionned six deaths including those in the southern Plains and then it says 10 the next day without mentionning the fatalities in the South (and it was snow related from this storm). Local news sites can also make mention of storm-related deaths in which the AP or big news agencies have omitted. The AP also does not mention any deaths in Canada so you have to throw Canadian sources as well on top.
Finally, for the snow amounts (and particularly Canada) you have to find like several sources mostly because the EC site doesn't archived special weather statements or pages that shows the storm amounts.
One way to reduce the number of citations is to probably create new articles, which I've did with the China case, as mentionned above probably details of the other storms in California in January and a new article of the past three storms in the East as I've mentionned below. -- JForget 18:05, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

What's this? Who decides the dates? If there's nothing previously published about winter storm "seasons" having dates, I don't see how anyone could take two random dates in violation of WP:NOR? Are there sources? Also, this isn't related to the 2006 AHS. – Ch acor 04:58, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
I'm copying the event discussions used on the Tornadoes of 2006 discussion page; seems reasonable to include them here as well. It looks like the first widespread snow event of the season appears to be on its way for the mountains of the Pacific Northwest. Snow is expected to fall as far south as central Colorado and maybe even southern Colorodo. If a widespread significant snow event in fact does occur with appreciable accumulations, it will be the first event addition to this article. bob rulz 05:06, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Should because of the impact on the Coast, especially Vancouver, they rarely see snow during the winter and even less in November and even less in that magnitude in November. 50 centimetres in some suburbs of Vancouver is quite unusual.
I've added the Midwest, Great Lakes and yes... Eastern Ontario event in the same sub-section, considering the storm will be connecting to the same that caused all the mess in B.C and in the Prairies. Should it still have though a separate sub-section?-- JForget 00:32, 30 November 2006 (UTC)

Latest guidance may suggest a winter storm for some areas in the eastern half of the continent by late week or in the weekend. Right it is hitting the Rockies, and tommorrow the Panhandles. Watches are in effect for South Dakota and Nebraska and looks like the Twin Cities will be hitThis will likely be the last chance for a white Christmas, but it is unsure who will get hit with what. Chances of a white Christmas in Ottawa according to Accuweather.com is 70%, one of the highest probability in eastern Canada.
Well looks like a new storm will form and hit the northeast on the 25th and 26th. Most of I-95 will see rain although the Great Lakes may finally see some snow. It has been bare (with a few exceptions) since the beginning.-- JForget 12:18, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

The storm was a dud, I think the system didn't had as much cold air and moisture as expected, so highest amounts were possibly around 6 inches and it was mostly wet and slushy snow mixed at times with rain.

This one will be a slow mover and may impact eastern portions of the continent by New Year's Day. Probably it will be a similar scenario as the December 25-26 system - it means it will depend on how much colder air it will have. So it may well last beyond the 31st this system. Wish that type of weather would of hit in Ontario-- JForget 03:25, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
The entry for this storm just pisses me off. Not a single mention of Nebraska, which received the worst Ice Storm ever recorded in the state. Power was out for weeks to some rural customers, a town of 6,000 people was without power for a week and ran on generators for a further two weeks, and thousands of miles of power lines and transmission lines had to be repaired or rebuilt from scratch. Tens of thousands of wooden power poles had to be replaced, and the final repairs on the power grid were not made until October of 2007, over nine months after the storm hit. Some locations received over 4 inches of freezing rain from this storm. Nowhere else in the "Texas Panhandle into South Dakota" area had as much ice accumulation as south-central Nebraska, and yet the state's not even mentioned. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Toroca ( talk • contribs) 21:40, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
While reading this blog, there have possibilities that a wicked snow storm may impact the Great Lakes region by the end of the weekend. Right now, it is expecting to hit Colorado with yet more snow and then will tap out some Gulf moisture before heading northeast across the Great Lakes/Ohio Valley area. There would be a huge contrast between both sides of the low as probably we may have some 50s and 60s (perhaps 70s) on the warm side and some teen's or 20's on the north side (with possibly sub-zeros next week in some areas). For those following tornadoes, there could be some of that, but probably the big story will probably be several big cities being hit with heavy snow from Saturday to Monday. Right now, areas such as Chicago, Detroit, Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal may be hit hard. But that's remains to be seen and if the story materialized, this could article-worthy.
For folks in the I-95, maybe there is something for the 20th, but that's way ahead, so I won't talk about it now, but could be a head's up.

This looks quite big this week, I hope it goes even further north (as the trend seems to be lately) so maybe eastern Ontario would get hit. Maybe that will be article warrant. It is still a good 72-96 hours away. It looks like it is most of New England that will get hit and parts of the Mid-Atlantic.

(Canada) O.K, right now anywhere from Kingston/Ottawa to western New Brunswick is going to be near-blizzard to blizzard conditions - Pretty much a guaranteed of 8 + inches everywhere with as much as 2 feet locally. Heard and read that the track was even more to the west (so maybe my area could get also 1 foot). Also Western shores of Lake Ontario (Hamilton) may get 2 feet of snow due to lake enhancement.

I know it's not a "storm" per se, but I believe the recent deep freeze in the Upper Midwest and Northeastern U.S. qualifies as severe winter weather in my mind. Some of the coldest temperatures in over 10 years have been occurring, and I've seen one report say 6 people have died alreday. Many schools have also closed based on the cold alone. There has also been moderate lake effect snow activity, on the eastern sides of the Great Lakes, adding to the situation. Should we create a new article or just put a blurb in about it?

Well, I've added the winter storm associated with Hurricane Noel that affected portions of Quebec and maybe Maine today (some of you should check the Caribou, Maine NWS for that if there were amounts. Maybe snows in Denver, Colorado prior to the World Series and a winter storm in extreme northern Ontario earlier this week can be added (and Prince George, British Columbia also had quite a bit of snow of the past few days), but I know little about storms elsewhere - maybe there was one in eastern Europe not too long ago, but I have no info, since I've seen last week there was a large area that had snow in the forecast last week.

A major ice storm is underway across a large section of the U.S. Could be article worthy. --- CWY2190 T C 19:09, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
If there are major effects across several areas like last week's two big storms although it is certainly worth to mention it in this article with the snows in Colorado and the ice further east. Several storms (up to four storms) are expected/forecasted from yesterday to about the 17th or 18th, storms getting stronger and stronger by weeks end and most of them taking the same general path except maybe the last one where the GFS blows one storm off the Atlantic Coast. This may potentially result as a similar article then January 2007 North American ice storm when there was a series of ice and snow storms from Texas to Newfoundland. We may have a similar situation for this week although not sure if the ice will be as destructive and deadly as last year's.
If you fell it is article worthy, you can build a sub-user page and if the series of storms for this week are quite bad, we could build up an article for all those storms.-- JForget 19:51, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
Well, I think it might be a worthy article, depending on how severe the storm is. I live in New York, and they are predicting a major ice storm for me, so if it is bad, I will be able to see it first-hand.

While this week looks to be relatively quiet, with the exception of the Pacific Northwest, it looks like a major winter storm could be taking place this weekend, particularly on Sunday, December 23, when much of the Midwest, Great Lakes, and Northeast could again see over half a foot of snowfall. Take a look at this map for what we could see on Sunday, and feel free to navigate the other days. Accuweather is usually pretty conservative with their snowfall estimates, so this could mean serious business. Just a head's up for everyone.

I've officially suffered from a case of winter storm overload. There have been so many storms in the western U.S. over such a short time span over this last week of January that it's difficult to differentiate between them, and it's difficult to find storm totals for separate storms and when certain storms affected different areas. To resolve this, I think I'm just going to combine all of these storms into one single headline in the main section. So many deaths from avalanches, accidents, feet of snow in the Cascades and Sierra Nevada, heavy snows in the Spokane area, snow on the Oregon coast, up to 6 feet of snow in the Sierra Nevada, and of course underreporting of snow in the Intermountain West and Great Basin, and Utah (as always)...it's getting hard to differentiate between this storms and what area was slammed by how much when and what deaths occurred where on what dates...anyway, some help in organizing this would be appreciated. Stories on major websites, local newspapers, and AccuWeather (since they keep archives) are generally the most helpful. Significant work is also needed in trimming down and consolidating a lot of these references. We don't need almost 100 references for this article, especially since it's only the beginning of February. bob rulz ( talk) 08:13, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
Well additionnal detail about other storms (particularly the one just over a week although itself may be warranted an article)) can be added in the existing article about the early month's storm although it would likely have to be renamed for Jaunary 2008 Western North America winter storms.
As for the numerous references, unfortunately some of them are mentionning only some details while others are mentionning other things and for example CNN articles new and different stuff is added on each article. One thing I've notice from the recent winter storm is that one CNN article mentionned six deaths including those in the southern Plains and then it says 10 the next day without mentionning the fatalities in the South (and it was snow related from this storm). Local news sites can also make mention of storm-related deaths in which the AP or big news agencies have omitted. The AP also does not mention any deaths in Canada so you have to throw Canadian sources as well on top.
Finally, for the snow amounts (and particularly Canada) you have to find like several sources mostly because the EC site doesn't archived special weather statements or pages that shows the storm amounts.
One way to reduce the number of citations is to probably create new articles, which I've did with the China case, as mentionned above probably details of the other storms in California in January and a new article of the past three storms in the East as I've mentionned below. -- JForget 18:05, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

This article is 120 KB long, more than three times the recommended article size, and has many images. Even split into articles for each calendar year, they will still be long articles. Besides which, the grouping of years, 2005-2007 is entirely arbitrary. dramatic ( talk) 02:24, 23 June 2010 (UTC)
