All About Snow was developed to provide you with a wealth of information about snow. Visit our Question and Answer section, Q & A, where you will find answers to the snow questions that we have received. For fun and interesting bits of trivia, visit our Facts section. The Snow Gallery contains historic photos of blizzards and snow from the National Weather Service.
NSIDC's Cryosphere Glossary to search and browse terms related to snow in NSIDC's comprehensive cryospheric glossary.
Our Have Snow Shovel, Will Travel brochure chronicles snow removal activities in the United States.
Avalanche Awareness answers ten common questions about avalanches. The Blizzards of 1996 also answers questions, provides weather maps and images, and includes links to other notable storms. Have Snow Shovel, Will Travel describes how we have dealt with snowstorms in cities in the United States since the 1700's.
NSIDC would like to thank Nolan J. Doesken, Colorado Climate Center in the Department of Atmospheric Science at Colorado State University, and Arthur Judson. All of the definitions in the glossary, all of the facts in our fact sheet, and many of our questions and answers appear in The Snow Booklet by Doesken and Judson, U.S. Forest Service Alpine Snow and Avalanche Project, retired.
You can find more information about The Snow Booklet: A Guide to the Science, Climatology, and Measurement of Snow in the United States by Nolan J. Doesken and Arthur Judson (ISBN #0-9651056-2-8, 2nd edition) on the Colorado Climate Center's Snow Booklet Web page. You can also contact the Climate Center directly to purchase a copy.
