This animation compares snow cover between December and February of 2001-02 with the same time period in 2002-03 using 8-day composite snow maps. The snow cover from the winter of 2002-03 is shown in white while the areas that had snow in 2001-02 but not in 2002-03 are shown in blue.

This animation compares the difference between snow cover in the winter of 2001-02 with snow cover from the winter of 2002-03. Regions receiving snow on corresponding dates in 2001-02 but not in 2002-03 are shown in blue.    This animation compares the difference between snow cover in the winter of 2001-02 with snow cover from the winter of 2002-03.
