				<description><![CDATA[When the weather turns so frightfully cold that we don parkas and boots before venturing outside, how do plants and animals survive? They can&#8217;t add layers of clothing. They can&#8217;t toast their tootsies before a fire. They&#8217;ve never even heard of hot chocolate. Scientists focus on two coldweather survival strategies that are used by living organisms, [&#8230;]]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[Love it or hate it, when snow season appears much of the country is covered with a blanket of white. In the northern hemisphere about half of the land area sees some snowfall each year, and every state has experienced at least an occasional dusting of the white powder. It may be hard to appreciate, [&#8230;]]]></description>

				<description><![CDATA[Several times a year we rearrange our sleeping schedules to watch one of nature’s annual fireworks displays. Just like clockwork, during the second week of August, the early morning sky lights up with the castoff particles left by the passage of a comet. Comets are the vagabonds of the solar system. Many of them travel [&#8230;]]]></description>
