This paper makes an estimation of the monetary damages caused by a snowfall-related natural disaster over the period 1985-2012. Economic damages are estimated for the disaster, employing economic, demographic and climate data with Tobit models for censored samples. This paper provides a basic framework for an understanding of natural disasters as an interaction between climate factors and socio-economic ones. However, it seems to true that frequent and/or more intensive weather-related natural hazards have happened over the study period, although some findings from this work could not definitely provide strong evidence for making a distinction between human-induced climate change and weather-related natural disasters.
