New Record

A few days ago, a meteorology grad student at Oklahoma University began a quest to gather pictures of something very unique. Patrick Marsh, for whatever reason, decided to document the fact that there was snow on the ground in all 50 states on the same day. This phenomenon has never before been recorded. Patrick's biggest obstacle was finding someone in Hawaii who would venture out to search for a patch of snow that hadn't yet melted following a recent blizzard near the 13,800 foot peak of Mauna Kea. After blogging, networking, and twittering, Patrick's pursuit was completed early on February 13th when these photos (verified by the National Weather Service) arrived in his inbox. To see the snowy pictures from the other 49 states, check out Patrick's blog.
