... 3 This section presents background information on key technical and regulatory aspects of characterizing design events. 2.1 The Importance of Risk and Controlling Drivers The need to document the rationale in defining a winter design storm is driven by regulatory compliance requirements (see Appendix A)

... 4will be equally sensitive to the intensity (Section 2.2.2) and assumptions regarding temporal distribution (Section 2.2.3)
From page 5...
... 5 2.3 Multi-Storm Analyses Individual storms are anomalies in a continuous time series of variable, interrelated meteorological features. Storm water studies, and consequently storm water control engineering, simplify the variability into definitions more manageable for discrete storm events.
