   History of Winter (HOW) Program
...............................
The History of Winter Program took place at Lake Plaid.  NASA scientists study snow, how much falls, kinds of snow, warmth of the snow at different levels in a snow pit and difference between ice and snow.  Properties of snow have serious implications for NASA satellites.  Snow reflects light that can interfere with remote sensing, data collection and weather observations from the satellites.  Scientists can predict avalanches by identifying a certin kind of snow in the snow pack, called snow sugar.
