Template:Infobox weather event/Winter storm/doc

Usage

This sub-box generates a meteorological information box specifically targeted towards winter storms. When available, this box will change the header to reflect a winter storm category (such as a category provided by the Regional Snowfall Index). Otherwise, it will show a generic "Winter storm" header.

The winter storm category may be supplied using |category=. In the event that this storm has an RSI value, the |RSI= parameter can instead be used, and will automatically adjust the box to use imperial units instead of metric. The |basin= parameter can also be used to change this behavior; set it to atl or epac to switch the default units. To avoid units entirely, you may choose to pass text into the related values (e.g. pass {{convert|100|in|cm|abbr=on}}|maximum-rain= or |maximum-snow=), but this makes later maintenance difficult, and is not advised.

This subbox relies on the meta-template Template:Infobox weather event/meteorology.

{{Infobox weather event/Winter storm | winds = 112 | lowest-temperature = -45 | maximum-snow = 17 }}

Winter storm Highest winds 205 km/h (130 mph) Lowest temperature −45 °C (−49.00 °F) Maximum snowfall or ice accretion 17 cm (6.693 in)

{{Infobox weather event/Winter storm | RSI = 6.78 | winds = 87 | lowest-temperature = -23 | maximum-rain = 56 | maximum-snow = 12 }}

Category 3 "Major" winter storm Regional Snowfall Index: 6.78 (NOAA) Highest winds 100 mph (160 km/h) Lowest temperature −23 °F (−30.56 °C) Maximum rainfall 56 in (1,422 mm) Maximum snowfall or ice accretion 12 in (304.8 mm)
