Winter storms are weather phenomena with significant societal impacts, including disruption to commerce, power grids, and transportation networks, and are manifest from rapidly deepening synoptic-scale cyclones to narrow but intense mesoscale bands of lake-effect snow and local snow squalls. Analysis of new cloud observations are critical to understanding the relationships between the cloud structure and microphysical properties of these clouds, cloud processes that impact precipitation amounts, and thermodynamic drivers of cloud and precipitation evolution. Case studies and contributions from recent and ongoing field campaigns, including NASA IMPACTS, OLYMPEX, WINTRE-MIX, and the WPC Winter Weather Experiment are encouraged.
