Severe weather phenomena are those meteorological phenomena that can temporarily become dangerous for the population, by threatening its safety or can cause material damage in a certain area. In order for the authorities and the population to be notified in time, meteorological warnings are issued. Therefore, issuing a warning will be taken into account according to the degree of severity of the forecasted meteorological phenomenon and will take into account its extent, how it will evolve and the degree of vulnerability of the regions to be affected. For this purpose, warning thresholds have been established for certain meteorological phenomena that can become dangerous, and based on this, color codes have been established, which gradually show the dangerousness of the phenomena that are about to occur. In the cold season, the blizzard is part of the category of dangerous meteorological phenomena, even more so when they are early or late, in the months of November or April. If the late ones are more frequent, (in the last 10 years there were 2 blizzard events, in 2017 and 2023), the early ones have an even lower frequency, and sometimes it can be a derivative of this phenomenon, because they are not met all the blizzard conditions. This study analyzes a phenomenon that took place in the second decade of November 2023 in the region of Moldova and which was associated with the blizzard phenomenon.
