I will be landscaping a home this next spring/summer and I would like to know if there is any software that would aid me in placing any trees or barriers to control drifting snow. Nothing too complicated, just something to give me an idea.
Snow drift mapping does not exist. But snow depth charts are available from NOAA's

Snow drifts are a caused when the wind flow is diturbed by a stationary object, House, Snow Fence, Trees Etc.
Important considerations for effective snow fence designs are height, length, setback distance, density, and species. These factors contribute to the function of the barrier and determine the snow storage capacity for a specific site.

Will ISRO#39;s Bhuvan beat Google Earth
With the much talked about Bhuvan – Earth Observation visualization tool by Indian Space Research Organization I finally thought I would give a try. I would share with my readers my experience with the tool. My overall opinion is that Bhuvan is the best deep technology public software ever made by an Indian organization.
As with most of the things that belongs to the Govt. of India the website lacks a high degree of professionalism. There is no dedicated site as yet. I had to Google up and finally arrived at http://bhuvan2.nrsc.gov.in . I use Firefox 3.5.2 and after downloading direct X and the plugin that are required for using Bhuvan I registered myself. It was impressive that already 0.23 million users have registered. But non of the ASP links of online Bhuvan software would open on Firefox. It is, I believe, a Firefox issue as I could follow the links on IExplorer. The features as described on the homepage are quite inviting and promise things much better than wikimapia or google earth . So the question arises – Can it out perform these popular Earth Visualization tools?
