Forecasting snow and finding supermarkets

If you’re the type of person who loads up on bread and milk at the first hint of snowfall, then ArcGIS Online is your new best friend.  Using ArcGIS Online you can create a map showing projected snowfall amounts for your area along with the locations of nearby supermarkets. The ArcGIS Online Gallery has free basemaps that you can use to create quick and easy mash-ups online, stream directly into your ArcGIS map project, or (in many cases) download the raw data to use in whatever way you want. The basemaps shown below for snowfall forecasts and supermarket access are just two of the dozens of basemaps you can choose from in the ArcGIS Online Gallery.

The goal is to create ‘mash-ups’ that encourage use of Pennsylvania’s 1,000s of miles of trails and enhance the fun that trail users can have. The contest deadline is April 15th – click here for more information.
