We will be selecting winners over the next few weeks, so stay tuned.
-------
NASA’s Global Precipitation Measurement mission is proud to announce the follow-up to our popular Extreme Weather Photo Contest!
Winter winds blow in cold air, snow, ice, freezing rain, and a slew of other cold weather phenomena. What is winter like in your area or favorite vacation spot?
Whether you're in the northern or southern hemisphere, post your coolest photographs of winter weather and we'll pick the best ones to feature on the NASA Precipitation Measurement Missions websites (pmm.nasa.gov and www.nasa.gov/GPM).
While we welcome images of extreme weather, we don't want YOU to be too extreme. So before you take that photo, please make sure you're keeping safe.
Submission Details
The submission period is from 1/7/13 - 2/4/13.
Submit your photos to the GPM Extreme Weather Flickr group www.flickr.com/groups/gpm-extreme-weather/

Please provide as much metadata with the image as you are comfortable providing:
Your name.
Affiliation (e.g. school, community group, etc...).
Location where photo was taken (country, city, state, latitude, longitude).
Any other interesting details about the photo.

Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) is an international satellite mission that will help advance our understanding of Earth’s water and energy cycles, improve the forecasting of extreme events that cause natural disasters, and extend current precipitation measurement capabilities by using accurate and timely information of rain and snow. Since rainfall and snowfall vary greatly from place to place and over time, satellites can provide more uniform observations of rain and snow around the globe than ground instruments.
