At right, that image on the left is combined with data from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope. The cyan splotches, which represent auroral activity, and white clouds, are data from Webb’s Near-Infrared Spectrograph (NIRSpec), overlayed on top of the full image of the planet from Hubble’s Wide Field Camera 3.

ALT A graphic titled "Measuring Snow" explains how to properly measure snowfall. The left panel, labeled "Before It Snows," advises placing a flat, white-painted board in an open area away from trees and tall objects. The middle panel, titled "When It Stops Snowing," shows a person using a ruler to measure snow on the board at eye level. The right panel explains to measure snow depth to the nearest tenth of an inch. At the bottom, the graphic requests reports via email ([email protected]), social media (@NWSNewOrleans), or text (504-527-8678). Photos are credited to CoCoRaHS.
ALT A graphic titled "Tips for Measuring Snow" provides advice on snow measurement. The left panel lists items that can be used as a snow board, such as plywood painted white (best option), large cutting boards, trays, storage bin lids, boogie boards, or cookie sheets. The right panel includes tips: place a marker by the board to locate it, ensure the board is level, anchor lightweight boards, measure snow promptly after it stops falling, and measure away from tall objects.
