Abstract: Research into the relationship between snow cover and observed maximum and minimum temperature is reviewed. An example of the importance of snow cover and forecasting max/min temperatures is presented for this past winter (1976?77). It is shown that there was a warm bias in the MOS temperature forecasts for the northern Great Plains following the receipt of a fresh cover of snowfall. It is proposed that snow cover be incorporated as a conditional predictor to be used only during specific synoptic conditions.
