OU Student Collecting Pictures of Snow in All 50 States

[Hilarious Clinton 452]

NORMAN, Oklahoma -- A University of Oklahoma student is taking an extra interest in this week's snow storms in the south and northeast and is working to document the events in a very unique way.

Patrick Marsh said it's likely by the end of the week snow will be on the ground in all 50 states.

From Ardmore all the way to Dallas and even in Louisiana, the south is snowed in. For many, it's a winter wonderland in places that rarely see such weather. But none of it comes close to the mess up north where two blizzards have blown through in a week.

Weather like this is why Marsh is studying to be a meteorologist. Even as the snow fell outside the National Weather Center in Norman, inside Marsh was tracking what could be a rare winter weather phenomenon.

Marsh, a student employee at the NOAA's National Severe Storms Laboratory in Norman, is currently trying to collect photos of snow on the ground in all 50 states.

"On Friday afternoon, I'm going to begin asking for photos of the snow," Marsh said. "Hopefully I'll get photos from all 50 states, and if I do, I'll put them into a Google Earth map and make a snow snapshot of America."

Marsh said Florida is the only state without snow on the ground at this point, but he said two to four inches of snow is forecasted on Friday in some parts of the state. There is currently even snow on some of the mountain tops in Hawaii.

If you or someone you know in the United States has snow on the ground where they are, tell them to take a pictures and send it to snow@forwarn.org

There was no snow on Mauna Kea or Mauna Loa when we left on Wednesday. I'm not sure whose reporting snow in Hawaii. It melted about a month ago.

They mean lots of 'ice'.

January 2010: Warmest January in 32 years

This is my fourth winter in FL and thus far it's the freaking coldest winter I've experienced down here. January was unusually cold and we're still a good 10F below our averages. It's not nice.

Talking to my folks in Germany, they're going through the coldest winter in three decades and even my wife's family confirms that in Ethiopia it is unusually cold. Which begs the question: Where the ** is it supposed to so warm to make up for these cold patches?

This is also the coldest winter in Georgia since 1983. We got 4 inches of snow last night. Where the sun shone today it has melted. Everywhere else there is still a good 2 to 3 inches as it barely got above freezing today. They are calling for the possibility of more snow tomorrow.

It would have been impossible before Al Gore fixed global warming. Almost makes me shed a tear. Almost.

Only if one falsely equates weather and climate.

It ain't right. I can see the budget crisis here and all but they ought to turn the heat back on.
