  1. Snow Rules!A North Shore Snow Study State Climatology Office DNR Waters December 2002

  2. Project Basics • near shore snow patterns • topography • large expanse of adjacent open water • observing grid • project outcomes and uses

  3. Project Basics • near shore snow patterns • topography • large expanse of adjacent open water • observing grid • project outcomes and uses

  4. Project Basics • near shore snow patterns • topography • large expanse of adjacent open water • observing grid • project outcomes and uses

  5. Observations • snow fall • board, ruler • snow depth • by course, set poles, other? • testing • snow water content • use of ‘rain gages’ • use of ‘rain gages’ or other cylinders as ‘cookie cutters’

  6. ‘snow pole’

  7. Observers • finding one per grid cell • by invitation in 1st season: nominations • existing • new (interest apparent) • advertise next season to ‘fill-in holes’ • near-shore high density transects • training • meetings • video

  8. Shore activities • caches • equipment, videos • http://climate.umn.edu/hidradius/precip_form_7.doc • data gathering • data form gathering • online data entry • multi-observer • ‘on shore’ • State Climatology Office • single observer ‘digital postcard’

  9. Next steps • related projects and issues • ‘wish list’ data-based products for education and diagnostics uses (web sites) • http://134.84.160.62/nssnow/snowrules.htm • other money and other people’s time • next meetings • 1st observer meeting • 2nd and subsequent collaborators’ meeting
