Valley View Rotary Update
Wednesday March 3, 2010
Program:
The Science of Snowflakes - Dan Baumgardt, National Weather Service
Dan gave an interesting and informative presentation about snowflakes and how they are formed. His power point presentation showed the many different types of snowflakes and what weather conditions create which types of flakes. Something we can all think of when we have our next snowfall – hopefully next fall!
Thanks to Janie Spencer for organizing this excellent program!
