Both winter storms and hurricanes can be powerful, but they have different characteristics. Winter storms can bring heavy snow, strong winds, and freezing temperatures, while hurricanes bring strong winds, heavy rain, and storm surges. The impact of each can vary depending on the specific conditions and location.
