As we head into the final long weekend of the summer, wishing everyone a super start to the school year!

[sknowledge collective @sknowledgeco]

Today we wrap up the 2023/24 monitoring season! A sincere thank-you to all who contributed valuable snow and temperature observations from their communities & school yards. Looking forward to reconnecting in the fall for our 5th monitoring season! ❄️🌡️

#TogetherWeKnowSnow

[sknowledge collective @sknowledgeco]

This #CitizenScienceMonth @sknowledgeco participants shared over 40 observations of snow & temperature obs in their communities contributing to @SciStarter 's #OneMillionActsOfScience

Thank you to everyone who shared their #SkNOWLEDGE!

Thanks to all our dedicated SkNOWLEDGE volunteers who spent the winter making careful meteorological observations in their local park or school ground to help us understand broader climate, meteorological, and hydrological processes.❄️

Tonight’s Snow Moon is inspired by snow-covered Canada during the winter season. In fact, 65% of Canada’s land mass has annual snow cover for more than six months of the year. The Snow Moon reached peak fullness at 7:30 am ET & will appear full in the night sky.

💡Did you know that Canada is warming at nearly twice the global average rate, with winter temperatures warming faster than those of any other season? @protectwintersc

We have two exciting winter environmental monitoring projects. #SkNOWLEDGE involves monitoring local snowfall, while our #iNaturalist project involves monitoring local biodiversity. Volunteer as much time as you like, submitting as many observations as you are able to.

Happy #WinterSolstice! 🌎🌄❄️

Astronomical winter officially starts at 10:27 pm EST, marking the longest night in the Northern Hemisphere. Enjoy a year-long visual journey with daily images from @NOAA's #GOESEast 🛰️, showing the changing seasons due to Earth's 23.5° tilt.

[sknowledge collective @sknowledgeco]

From all of us to you, wishing you a restful holiday season filled with joy & SkNOWLEDGE!

To our partners & participants: Thank you for being part of the SkNOWLEDGE Collective & sharing your curiosity & discoveries about snow.

@SkNOWLEDGECo and @EcoSpark need your help collecting local snow data this winter! 📏🌡️ Using a ruler and thermometer and engaging in hands-on fun making snowballs, you’ll record your observations on a simple data sheet and submit them to https://t.co/WHLNzXtqLq. ☃️❄️

[EcoSpark @EcoSpark_Env]

Whether it's a #WinterWonderland or no snow, your data helps us understand and appreciate the magic of snowfall and how #ClimateChange impacts it.❄️ Join @SkNOWLEDGECo and become a #CitizenScientist! 🌨️ Let's make a collective impact on #SnowScience! ⛄️❤️ #VolunteerForWinter

At the height of summer, exposed Arctic Ocean water absorbs 9 times more solar radiation than sea ice does. Before ice can form again in the fall, the ocean must release the absorbed heat into the atmosphere, contributing to Arctic amplification. https://t.co/JF2am7iYTG
