March Monster

Look at the size of this beast of a storm. Its moisture feed stretches well into the Gulf of Mexico while it snows in upstate NY. This shows how weather connects the world's ecosystems. Water transpired by Caribbean plants are transported into the NE US to build snowpack, replenish rivers and aquifers, sustaining plant and animal communities up there too. And every once in a while, it gives Cornellians a day off.
