Weather Report
I heard that school was canceled today. You got some snow? How much? What did the snow look like? Can you write a weather report for me? What is the definition of snow?
I hope you enjoyed your snow day. For me in Churchill, it was all work and no play. I am experiencing Churchill weather. Let me give you my weather report and then we can compare notes.
Today it was sunny and warm for Churchill. The natives of Churchill (people who live here all year round) said that we are lucky to be experiencing this warm weather. It is all comparable. What is warm to one individual is still downright cold to another. It is -7 degrees Fahrenheit but it feels like -24. There was no wind out. The sky was clear with no clouds to be found. I was happy to have the bright sunshine on my face. My fingers were still cold despite the two pairs of gloves. I need to work on keeping them warmer tomorrow.Last night, I heard a lecture about the various snow crystals. I need to know about the different snow crystals because when I am out in the tundra or forest, I am trying to determine which snow crystals are there. Do I sound like Snowflake Bentley? Remember no snow crystal can ever be repeated but I have to try my best to identify the snow shape. I have to look at a guide and make my best scientific determination.
This is me working in the field. I dug a snow pit and was analyzing the levels of snow and looking at the different crystals found.Here is me yesterday afternoon on my first walk out in the snow of Churchill. I got in a little play then and got to practice with all the various layers of gear I brought (and you saw on the video.)

Baltimore Weather Report for Tuesday Morning:
We woke up to a bright and sunny day. It was 7 degrees with high winds and a wind chill of -1. So not very different from your experience. I really felt the effects as I walked across the street with my coffee from Panera this morning. The cold and wind made my eyes water.

Mrs. Donovan's class would like to give a definition for SNOW.
SNOW: Snow is precipation in the form of small, white ice crystals. Snow is a solid. It is formed when water vapor in clouds freezes into ice crystals and falls as precipitation when the air temperature is below freezing.
Sentence: Children really love to play in snow that can be packed to make snowballs, snow people, or snow forts.
Weather Report from Mrs. Snider's Class
On March 2nd, Arlington, VA experienced a nice winter storm. No school, but lots of snowballs, sledding, and snowy fun. J's backyard measured 5"-6" and I. reports an average temperature of 21F.
On March 3rd, icy walkways and freezing winds made life tough for us kids. The temperature was 19F but it felt like 3F due to the wind. If conditionsdo not change, we will have to watch our steps on the way home.

Be careful kids walking home in on the icy. I have to be careful too! I make sure almost everything is covered on my body to make sure that nothing gets frostbite. Also it is a bit difficult walking in the snow because with each step you do not know how hard or deep the snow is. You may sink a foot or two down below the surface.
