Though the last traces of winter are melting away and spring showers are in full swing across the U.S., the story of snow is not quite over for the season. In mid-April, two winter field campaigns involving NASA researchers are wrapping up, bringing with them unprecedented observations of snowfall. Understanding when, where, and how much snow is falling is critical for scientists and the public alike. In the short-term, accurate snowfall data can help weather forecasters prepare communities and plan against hazardous road conditions, power outages, and health risks. Over the long-term, these
