![]() ![]() These snow cover maps are made from observations collected by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) on NASA’s Terra satellite. Too much snow, however, can lead to springtime floods when the snowpack melts. Snowmelt moisturizes soil and reduces the Irrigating crops in many parts of the world. Melting of seasonal snow (as well as glaciers) provides water for drinking and Because snow is so reflective, it plays an important role in regulating climate: it reflects incoming sunlight back into space, cooling the planet. Snow is precipitation that forms when water vapor freezes. For more information, see the NWS Public Information Statement PNS22-05. Products are also available in the the NOHRSC Interactive Snow Information section of the website. Stand-alone imagery, seasonal totals, and data downloads in several formats are available in the National Snowfall Analysis section of the website. The National Snowfall Analysis, an observation-based, gridded estimate of recent snowfall, is now an operational product. The daily model forecast is out to Thursday, 0600 UTC. Snow Analysis Highlights Tuesday, Snow Model Status: The model analysis is out to Tuesday, 0000 UTC. :Modeled Snow Depth Over Land by Elevation Zones :National Operational Hydrologic Remote Sensing Center :Office of Climate, Water, and Weather Services Information from the National Snow Analyses is summarized by basins and byīasin elevation zones, and is provided here in Standard Hydrologic Exchange
