6. One paragraph description of your model (e.g. abstract from report or
   paper);
   
   The SNOW-17 model is one of operations available in the National Weather 
   Service River Forecast System (NWSRFS).  It is a conceptual model in which 
   each of the significant physical processes affecting snow accumulation and 
   snowmelt is mathematically respresented.  The model uses air temperature as 
   the sole index to energy exchange across the snow-air interface and was 
   developed to run in conjunction with a rainfall-runoff model.  For more 
   detail, see NOAA Technical Memorandum NWS HYDRO-17 (Anderson, 1973) and NOAA 
   Technical Report NWS 19 (Anderson, 1976).
