Some of your fellow coop members helped in White County and will help this weekend with other emergency relief.  Please say a prayer for those that help in emergencies and work on a list of how you can help others during weather emergencies.  

Weather Resources

• Glossary of Weather Terms from NOAA
• Winter Storms (Snow) from Exploring Nature Educational Resources (check out the benefits of snow) 

Water to Snow -- Is it REALLY 1 inch of water to 1 foot of snow?

• NASA Spacemath
• Community Collaborative Rain, Hail, and Snow Network (Snow to Water Ratios)

Being Prepared for an Emergency: 

• Being a Hero is FUN  (games)
• Student Tools for Emergency Preparedness (FEMA)
• Be A Hero (Youth Emergency Preparedness -- FEMA)

What do you think might happen to all that snow when the weather turns warmer?  How about ALL the snow in Boston?  This may cause some snowmelt flooding, if you have watched much weather forecasts you may have heard warnings about that.  Weather forecasts can help keep us safe -- can you think of ways the forecast helps people?  

I hope to see you next week and hear your ideas!
