National Operational Hydrologic Remote Sensing Center Interactive Snow Information Comment

Hello. I studied "Planetary Atmospheres" with Professor Hogan back in the days of the Viking Landing on Mars and Tobias Owen's interdisciplinary analyses of planetary geology. I also enjoyed the Voyager flyby of Jupiter and archaeo-astronomy at Stony Brook University, studied astronomy with the professor who dated Kohoutec's now wife. Professor Solomon (not the woman director of the expedition) of the Astronomy Dept. went on the expedition to Antarctica there to research the "Ozone Hole" with an optical instrument. Anyway, "el niño" was just being discussed by Peruvianist archaeologist Edward Lanning, reflecting variations in the Humboldt Current and the movement perhaps of mangrove swamps up and down Peru's coast, way back then in the late 1970's also there at Stony Brook. I think the map is a great idea. However, if you look quite a bit goes into New Brunswick the province of Canada my grandfather came from, from Grand Manan Island in the Bay of Fundy, why not more of Canada? Especially the "snow hole," I would call it (opposite of a "black hole" snow piles up there) in the peninsula on Georgian Bay. Once upon a time a study was done of native subsistence methods and techniques there by R.M. Gramly, Ph.D., with whom I had archaeology field school with. It would be good if we stopped thinking of weather stopping at the border? At least for snow on the ground.
