Summary
(Summary adapted from the NSIDC Snow on the Web online documentation)

Snow on the Web provides general snow information, links to related resources,
snow and winter storm safety sites, and a Snow Glossary and Fact Sheet. Users
can also find links to avalanche information sites and important storm safety
tips compiled by the American Red Cross, FEMA, NOAA, and ... North Dakota
University. There is a link to Ski Central, a comprehensive, searchable site
for skiing and snowboarding topics, including ski resorts, ski reports, trip
planning, organizations, equipment, technique, and racing. The El Ni?o sites
offer information about the relationship between El Ni?o and differences in
winter conditions during those years. Questions and Answers is where you can
learn why snow is white or how much snow covered North America in 1973 as well
as several other well documented summaries.
