Wind - Some winter storms have extremely strong winds that can create blizzard conditions. with blinding, wind driven snow, drifting, and dangerous wind chills. These intense winds can. bring down trees and poles, and can also cause damage to homes and other buildings. Snow - Heavy snow accumulations can immobilize a region and paralyze a city, strand. motorists, stop the flow of supplies, and disrupt emergency services. Buildings may collapse, and trees and power lines can be destroyed from heavy snow.
Intense low pressure systems generate strong winds because of tight pressure gradients surrounding the centre of the system. Intense low pressure systems and their associated cold fronts can generate strong winds and heavy rain over large areas, causing local flash flooding and riverine flooding. The main wind damage from these low pressure systems is often in coastal areas and adjacent mountain ranges. The systems can also cause coastal erosion through the combined effect of large waves and an increase in sea level known as storm surge. Severe winds can also contribute to extreme bushfire activity.
