Subscribe to snow.news
snow.news is a free newsletter for people who love snow and want to know what’s happening with the American West’s snowpack.
I’m Mitch Tobin, a science writer, multimedia journalist, and amateurish skier based in southwest Colorado.
Snow is my muse, my passion, my obsession, and my occasional nemesis.
I started this newsletter because I’ll never tire of learning about this captivating force of nature that has been responsible for some of my life’s most joyous—and harrowing—moments, sometimes on the same day!
My mission is to share what I find as I explore this fascinating form of weather and report on how our precious snowpack is changing in the 21st-century climate.
Why subscribe to snow.news?
If you want to learn more about snow—why it forms, where it falls, whom it supports, how it’s studied, why it’s important, how it’s changing—then this newsletter is for you!
Rather than breathlessly cover the blow-by-blow of every incoming storm, I’ll be focusing on the bigger picture, seasonal trends, climate change impacts, and snow’s critical role in sustaining—and sometimes confounding—modern life in the American West.
