thread_title:  snowstorm / blizzard 

message: From the article: "Snow is less dense than liquid water, by a factor of approximately 10 at temperatures slightly below freezing, and even more at much colder temperatures. citation needed"
Why on earth is a citation needed? Anyone living in a snowy climate knows this, and it is so well known that noone would write it in a scientific article. Some knowlegde is actually common knowledge, and should not be subjected to this citation requirement. --88.90.165.48 (talk) 22:11, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  citation needed?? 

message: "in places where snowfall is typical, such as Utica, Kenosha, Milwaukee, Minneapolis, Detroit, Bismarck, Fargo, Rapid City, Sioux Falls, Omaha, St. Louis, Des Moines, Wichita, Denver, Albuquerque, Tulsa, Oklahoma City, Flagstaff, Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City, Portland, Chicago, Syracuse, Buffalo, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Columbus, Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and Toronto, such small snowfalls are rarely disruptive..."
Some people have gone through the effort of compiling this list, so I wanted to check before removing it. I think the article reads much better without this long, and inherently incomplete, list of cities. It also doesn't present a "worldwide view". I think "in places where snowfall is typical, such small snowfalls are rarely disruptive..." would be good enough. Freeinfo (talk) 13:46, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I just boldly removed a few of the cities without realizing there was an attempted discussion on the talk page about it. I figured there was no need for SO MANY cities, and I shortened it by keeping it to one city per state and removing some cities which were quite near others. Personally, I agree with you that completely removing the list would not hurt the article; however, I didn't want to go too far, so I just reduced it. Greengreengreenred 23:56, 19 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Long list of cities where snowfall is typical 

message: I added some information about the Christmas Day Ice Storm of 2000 that took place in southwestern Arkansas and surrounding areas. This should serve to reinforce the point about the danger of freezing rain.
The Christmas Day Ice Storm of 2000 caused devastating electrical issues in parts of Arkansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. The city of Texarkana, Arkansas experienced the worst damage, at one point losing the ability to use telephones, power and running water. In some areas in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas and eventually Louisiana, over an inch of ice accumulated from the freezing rain.  Snowbird225 (talk) 06:17, 26 April 2016 (UTC)

message: Important content from the slush page should be merged into the Dangers of snow section of this article. There isn't much to be talked about regarding "slush" other than it's wet snow causing slippery conditions. I think it can be covered with a sentence or two on this page. --PurpleDiana (talk) 23:08, 4 February 2018 (UTC)
