@LukasClimate @jfleck You can indeed see the moisture inching up after the snow in nwt's real-time climate graphs here nwt.lternet.edu/real-time-met

@jfleck That's a great question. With the relatively high sun angle and strong winds, a lot of this snow will want to sublimate, but soil temps are still quite warm, so maybe some melt will soak in. There's a soil moisture sensor up there, but the data feed has a lag of ~5 days.

First snow on the Front Range! View looking west from the Tundra Lab (11,600') at @LterNiwot NW of Nederland, courtesy of the TundraCam (nwt.lternet.edu/tundracam) This new snow is unlikely to last through the week, but hopefully a harbinger of a good season. #cowx

From space, satellites show a much greener Arctic than in decades past. On the ground, as the Arctic warms, plants are leafing out earlier, growing taller and expanding in cover. But, the greening seen from space doesn't always match change on the ground. nature.com/articles/s4155…

I have (reluctantly) joined the Twitterverse. My 12yo informs me 'twitter is dead' and 'it's like jello salad - for old people only'. I figure I'll fit right in.
