"Many people love snow. Others hate it. David Robinson (Rutgers University) has been fascinated with snow his entire life and will share some of his knowledge and experiences with the CoCoRaHS community. Topics that will be covered include 1) snowfall patterns across the US, 2) snowcover over the Northern Hemisphere, 3) major snowstorms 5) the density of fresh snow and how/why it varies so much, and 6) trends in snowfall over the past century. Finally, he will address why CoCoRaHS snowfall observations are so useful and important."
