Northwest
Treaty Tribes
Tribes. Treaty Rights. That's what we're all about. The Northwest
Indian Fisheries Commission has been around since 1974, supporting
tribes in the exercise of their treaty rights. One way we've
helped is by telling the story of the tribes protecting and
restoring natural resources.

National
Snow and Ice Data Center: All About Snow
"Is it ever too cold to snow? How big can snowflakes
get? Why is snow white?" Everything you ever wanted
to know about snow (but didn't know who to ask) is answered
here by the National Snow and Ice Data Center, affiliated
with the University of Colorado. This educational site
also includes a Snow Glossary (from "ablation"
to "vapor pressure"), a Snow Fact Sheet and
a feature on the history of snow removal. The first known
snow plow was pulled by horses through the "snow-clogged
streets" of Milwaukee in 1862.

National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration: How Do Snowflakes
Form?
"Q: How are snowflakes formed? A: A snowflake begins
to form when an extremely cold water droplet freezes onto
a pollen or dust particle in the sky. This creates an
ice crystal. As the ice crystal falls to the ground, water
vapor freezes onto the primary crystal, building new crystals
– the six arms of the snowflake." For a more
detailed explanation, click on through to this National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) page.

Snow
Crystals
"This site is all about snow crystals and snowflakes
– what they are, where they come from, and just
how these remarkably complex and beautiful structures
are created, quite literally, out of thin air."
Best place to start on this site created by Caltech
Professor Kenneth G. Libbrecht is the Snowflake Primer,
where you'll learn the answer to questions such as "Is
it really true that no two snow crystals are alike?"
and "Why do snow crystals form in such complex
symmetrical shapes?" Look for it under Snowflake
Science in the Site Index near the bottom of the front
page.
