When I saw this was the topic for the new episode my immediate thought was 'I can't wait to hear Jasmine say so many smart things' and I was not disappointed

There are water ice and carbon dioxide ice clouds on Mars! (And dust clouds too.) And yes, there have been indications of both water ice and carbon dioxide ice precipitating near or at the poles. No liquid water though, so no cloud droplets or rain.

Incredible! I've been trying to capture the 'snow lifting' we've been seeing here and all I've managed to get on camera is a half second little gust

This Mars year's ACB season starts in February, so we can look forward to another year of cloudy domes!

This is yet another year of 'the Aphelion Cloud Belt is extremely well behaved and does not change.' Except.... We don't tend to see much variability at Gale in the ACB, but there's an interesting hint of diurnal variability in MY 34. It's not entirely clear why that is yet.
