	Wild Russia- a look at the Wrangel Island Zapovednik
		Snow geese originally nested on the Russian mainland from Taimyr to Chukotka, but the large colonies on Wrangel are the last remaining populations in Asia today.
		The fl-legged kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla), pelagic cormorant (Phalacrocorax pelagicus), and glaucous gull (Larus hyperboreus) are common birds in the clamor, feeding on the abundance of fish and marine invertebrates in the relatively shallow waters.
		The islands lie north of the Arctic Circle and are bisected by the 71

	Long Island Climate - Snowfall Patterns on Long Island
		Long Island lies on the Atlantic coastal plain and thus its climate is heavily influenced by the proximity of the Atlantic Ocean.
		It is unusual for the rain-snow line to setup and remain over the island (although it does happen infrequently in light to moderate snowfalls), so the more common result is for the north shore to experience higher snowfall totals due to a longer period of snow prior to a change to rain.
		The amount of "Sound Effect" snow that falls on Long Island is difficult to quantify because it is usually mixed in with the larger amounts of snowfall that are deposited by coastal storms.

	'Evening Ferry' a sad-eyed ride - The Boston Globe
		Not for them the miseries of island winters, the dangers of quahog fishing, or the inbred, gossipy, locked-in perspective of the tiny resident population.
		Back on the island, she must deal daily with a childhood lover, Eddie, now her father's sidekick in the home repair business, and the flirtations of Alice's eldest son, Nick, 18 and soon to graduate from the minuscule island school where Rachel takes over as teacher.
		Indeed the Snow Islanders overall seem a sad, possibly doomed tribe, circumscribed by the micro-world of the island yet scarcely equipped to survive in the big wide beyond.

	Friends of Cooper Island
		Since airplanes capable of landing on Cooper Island's gravel beach are no longer available in Barrow, eight trips in a small helicopter were necessary to get George, Katie and their supplies to the field camp.
		Snow had melted from most nest entrances by the time the guillemots arrived the first week in June.
		The early melt of snow and ice probably made the early breeding season easier for first-time breeders and may have contributed to one of the larger increases in the breeding population in the last decade, with the colony going to 145 pairs from 125 pairs in 2001.

	Snow Geese
		I n some years when heavy snow conditions are present, competing pairs fight for the nest sites in those areas free of snow, resulting in egg dumping, abandoned nests, and heaps of eggs laid outside the nests in those places.
		Like all the other snow goose races, these Wrangel Island birds are very hard on any lawn grass areas you might wish to maintain within their enclosure.
		My captive Wrangel Island snows, once they are satisfied with their facilities and decide to initiate nesting, are not terribly particular about the actual nest site.

		This Webpage is devoted to the 2006-2007 Fir Island Snow Goose Quality Hunt Project and provides for both participating hunters and other interested persons information on the scope of this hunt and rules governing it as well as conditions hunters can expect and tips for gearing up.
		Creation of the Fir Island Hayton Snow Goose Reserve, a respite zone from hunting and later winter disturbance, was borne out of concerns for their vulnerability while here and a recognition that their reproductive success was inextricably tied to over wintering conditions.
		Managers are encouraging snow goose hunters to use their creativity and expect that the need to be frugal as well as quick in putting together such large strings will result in some interesting and imaginative lures.

	Alaska Science Center - Avian Influenza Research
		Approximately 2,000-3,000 snow geese are harvested for subsistence purposes on the YKD in fall and spring.
		Wrangel Island snow geese may become exposed to the Asian H5N1 virus from other waterbirds that winter in Asia and nest or molt on Wrangel Island.
		Live capture of Wrangel Island snow geese in Alaska would be very difficult because the birds are highly mobile, reside at stopover areas for short periods, and the timing of their arrival and distribution during those periods cannot be predicted.

	Weather Elements: What Causes Lake-Effect Snow Squalls
		Lake-generated snow squalls form when cold air, passing for long distances over the relatively warm waters of a large lake, picks up moisture and heat and is then forced to drop the moisture in the form of snow upon reaching the downwind shore.
		Lake-effect snows are common over the Great Lakes region because these large bodies of water can hold their summer heat well into the winter, rarely freeze over and provide the long fetch which allows the air to gain the heat and moisture required to fuel the snow squalls.
		However, an individual squall of heavy snow may remain over one small area for several hours and then, with a shift in the wind direction, move to drop its snow on another area.

	Landon Snow And The Island Of Arcanum Is R.K. Mortenson's Best - Barbour Publishing Books - Barbour Publishing, Inc (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		In this, the third book of the Landon Snow series, young Bridget Snow joins 12-year-old Landon and 11-year-old Holly on their quest to rescue the lost animals of Wonderwood from the cursed Island of Arcanum, where the beasts were sequestered during Malus Quidam's previous takeover of the Odds.
		Landon Snow and the Island of Arcanum is a satisfying addition to the series, taking Landon on his first journey away from Wonderwood and into a wider world of enchantment.
		While the Landon Snow novels don't offer the complexity and depth of Potter's world of wizards and Muggles, they are prosocial fantasy adventures that emphasize faith and family and avoid the moral shades of gray that have disturbed some Christians about the Potter novels.
