NIC will generate snow/ice charts (both the ASCII and image products) in the same formats, spatial resolution and temporal frequency currently generated by SAB.

On or about March 3, 3008, users pulling the snow/ice product from gp12.ssd.nesdis.noaa.gov will need to switch and pull from satepsdist4e.nesdis.noaa.gov.
