Another round of storms with heavy rain and snow along with high winds hit California. The systems disrupted travel and left a quarter of a million customers without power. Several media and government organizations downloaded satellite videos (created by Dakota Smith) from the Satellite Library and used them in their coverage. The videos included CIRA GeoColor products. More details and urls can be found below. (POC: D. Smith, CIRA, dakota.smith@colostate.edu, S. Miller, Steven.Miller@colostate.edu) Funding: GOES-R.
