Major weather events such as snowstorms and hurricanes often lead to business closures and absences from work. Typically, workers are more likely to be absent because of bad weather during winter months. Winter causes more weather-related work absences because ice and snowstorms may affect much larger areas than other weather events. Snow and ice storms often make transportation to work either difficult or impossible.
For a weather-related work absence to be captured in BLS data, it must occur during the survey reference week, which includes the twelfth day of the month. From 1994 to 2016, there were 5 snowstorms that caused over 4 million full-time workers who usually worked 35 or more hours per week to work less than 35 hours during the reference week. Among those snowstorms, a storm that occurred in January 1996 caused 10.4 million workers to work less than 35 hours.

While Hurricanes Katrina (late August 2005), Sandy (late October 2012), and Matthew (early October 2016) led to significant damage, all three hit prior to the reference week in which employment was surveyed. In September 1999, Hurricane Floyd hit the East Coast during the reference week and caused 3.4 million full-time workers who usually worked 35 or more hours per week to work less than 35 hours during the reference week.
During the 1994–2016 period, there were 2 snowstorms that caused over 1 million workers to be absent from work for the reference week. A storm that occurred in January 1996 caused 1.8 million workers to miss work, while another in February 2010 caused 1,031,000 workers to be absent from work. Hurricane Floyd led to 120,000 absences from work.

The survey reference period is the calendar week (Sunday through Saturday) that includes the twelfth day of the month. In November and December, the reference period is modified to avoid major holidays that could impede data collection.
