The 28-day challenge runs throughout February and all donations go to support the purchase of snowsuits for Ottawa children in need. Just head outside, make a snow angel and share the videos or images on social media, including a link to donate and hashtag #SnowAngelOttawa.

The study is part of the established research field of “proxy” data, which uses indirect records of climate imprinted on different parts of the biosphere to ...

The study finds that snow cover duration began a longer-term decrease around the end of the 19th century. “Let’s say back in time, when I was younger, I remember we used to ski below 1,500 metres of elevation and this was never a problem. “It is normally difficult to analyse such a species due to its prostrated growth form and presence of missing tree-rings (undetectable rings). They identified episodes over the past 600 years with notably long and short snow cover duration. Experts have combined this instrumental data with proxy climate data derived from tree rings to produce a record of the local climate over “exceptionally long periods”, the paper says. However, in contrast, local measurements of snowpack “often extend back only a few decades”, the study says. These can provide a good proxy for winter snow cover, the researchers say. “Snow cover is absolutely important for the energy balance of the atmosphere.

Scientists use “proxies” as a source of climate information going back long before direct measurements were collected. At the same time, snow cover duration has dropped by 5.6% per decade.

“We thought we’d build a senior-looking snowman in front of the Chateau seniors’ facility,” Bonnar said. “We had so much fun building Agnes we are feeling inspired to build other snow characters around town,” Bonnar said. “We just wanted to spread a little joy and make something for the seniors to look at.”

The Water Security Agency (WSA) is once again preparing to undertake snow water equivalent sampling to help create a complete picture of the spring runoff ...

Surveys from across the province contribute to the runoff potential map released every spring. WSA staff will be in the field at over a hundred sites later this month, carrying out snow surveys to help forecast the runoff potential, providing information on water supply and flood risks. "That's why every February, as part of our regular monitoring, WSA personnel gather snowpack data to help fill in other data gathered from other monitoring sites."

ST. PAUL, Minn. – Survey teams with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District, will begin collecting snow surveys throughout the region Feb.

Army Corps of Engineers, St. Additionally, the Corps assists states in reacting to floods when the response required exceeds a state’s capabilities. The teams are taking the surveys to assist Corps of Engineers’ water management officials in determining how much water is contained within the snowpack this year. One team will begin in Forest Lake, Minnesota, and make a counterclockwise trip around Minnesota. ST. They will continue to make their way to northern Minnesota and Wisconsin and survey about 100 locations.

The resort in Banff National Park still has all of its big mountain terrain accessible for skiers and riders.

“There’s constantly big mountain terrain,” Scurfield said. “It’s such an incredible space,” Scurfield said. “We have full-on progression parks,” said Kendra Scurfield, manager of brand and communications at Sunshine Village. we hate to tell you that you’re wrong. Article content

He shared that it's really important information for a lot of RM's, towns, cities, villages, producers in the area, industry groups, or anyone in the province, really, operating there in springtime. "What we're doing is measuring how much water is in that snow," he remarked, "We take a column with the device into a snow pack and try to measure and calculate what that snow-to-water equivalency would be, and then it helps us to contribute that data, that information, into our spring runoff potential and the map that we're going to see come out in March." Patrick Boyle, Spokesperson with the WSA, explained that their staff will be going and working with landowners to go into different sites across the province, "What we're doing is taking samples of snow and then trying to measure and understand the snow water equivalent or how much water is in that snow."

A second team will start in Wisconsin and go north to south. One team is expected to begin in Forest Lake and make a counterclockwise trip around Minnesota February 20th through the 28th. Additionally, Corps of Engineers’ park rangers are taking snow surveys in the Mississippi River Headwaters region and at recreation areas in North Dakota.
