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 (http://pmm.nasa.gov & http://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.
