   This survey was created by Matt Taraldsen, a meteorology student at St. Cloud State University, under the guidance of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences professor Dr. Anthony Hansen, Communication Studies professor Suzanne Stangl-Erkens and meteorologists from the National Weather Service Forecast Office in Duluth, Minnesota. This survey and its results do not constitute an endorsement by the NWS of any information, products or services within this project.

The objective of this Post Storm Survey (PSS) is to gain insight into decision-making related to hazardous winter weather, as well as providing a critical tool in bridging the gap between the weather community and users.  This information will be vital for the weather forecasting community to improve communicating the threat of hazardous winter weather.

The winter season of 2008-2009 was a huge succes for the Post Storm Survey with over 2700 responses following eight significant weather events. 

Although the survey was produced and is maintained by St. Cloud State University, the responses and findings will greatly enhance the National Weather Service's ability to convey future winter weather threats.
