Southern Weather Discovery Phase II - The Week it Snowed Everywhere!
Data keying for this phase is completed - thanks to all our wonderful volunteers for their help!!!

This phase of Southern Weather Discovery has some extra support from a Microsoft AI for Earth grant.
"The Week it Snowed Everywhere" dataset will help us improve understanding of extreme weather events within the context of long-term climate change.
