I am at home today enjoying a snow day, and thought you might enjoy this post from colleague Dr. Marshall Shepherd of UGA on four interesting things about snow from his blog at Forbes.com. I knew there was snow on the ground when I woke up at 2 am because the light was different than normal (although I was too lazy to get up and check). There was about an inch out there when I made my 7 am CoCoRaHS reading. Now we are already back to blue skies. You can read his article at https://www.forbes.com/sites/marshallshepherd/2018/01/17/four-curious-things-about-snow-on-the-ground-the-science-revealed/#12e6615e596f.

If you got snow, hope you enjoy it. Stay safe and warm!
