Podcast that you may be interested in.
Boise State University (where I went to school and work with now) runs a program called Beyond the Blue which features podcasts from various professors covering a range of topics. This week's topic is about the science of snow, when and where it falls, how it melts, and both the benefits and dangers that it presents.
You should give it a listen!
