Yes, we are out in the snow on purpose. Our technicians are collecting snow core samples to quality-check our SWE sensors—because “looks right” is not a measurement. Find us on insta! @nysmesonet #SnowScience #FieldWork #SWE #QualityControl

🏔️ Avalanche Survival: 7 Life-Saving Moves 🏔️ 1️⃣ Sidestep fast, go sideways – an avalanche runs downhill like water; a few metres left or right can save you. 2️⃣ Ditch the heavy gear 🎒 – skis, poles, pack… lighter = quicker reactions. 3️⃣ Grab something solid 🌲🪨 – a tree or boulder can anchor you if escape space runs out. 4️⃣ Swim on your back 🏊‍♂️ – big back-stroke motions keep you closer to the surface. 5️⃣ Cup hands, make an air pocket 🤲 – carve breathing space as the snow starts to slow. 6️⃣ Punch a fist upward ✊ – leave a marker for rescuers before everything sets. 7️⃣ Stay calm, breathe slow 🧘 – panic burns precious oxygen; focus on steady breaths. ⛑️ Prep beats panic: always carry beacon, probe & shovel and ride with mates who know how to use ’em. 👉 For more daily outdoor smarts & science-backed insights, follow @nxtday – because being ready beats being lucky! #AvalancheSafety #MountainLife #Backcountry #SnowScience #SurvivalTips #TianShan #Kyrgyzstan #Hiking #ClimbSafe #StayPrepared 🏔️❄️

Ark Discoveries: Snow forms when tiny ice crystals in clouds stick together, creating beautiful snowflakes. When enough crystals bond, they become heavy enough to fall gently to the ground. #snowscience #winterwonder #naturediscovery #arkdiscoveries #arktvug
