+title: Dfs2 - Snow Compare
+jupyter: python3
+---
+
+
+
+## Using This Notebook
+- Provides a simple differencing tool to compare two Dfs2 files, in this case MIKE SHE and MODIS snow cover
+- Due to the ipywidgets controls which dynamically query Dfs2 files, this notebook is best downloaded from the right hand menu using the Jupyter link, and executed locally
+- Modify the inputs section cell to provide file paths and then execute all cells
+- Use the horizontal slider controls in the Analysis section to move back and forth in time for each Dfs2. A simple grid calculation will be performed showing which cells have lower, similar, or higher values, allowing you to identify areas of concern for further investigation
+- If the notebook is running as expected, the Analysis section will appear as follows:
+
+![Example of Analysis section](../../images/dfs2_snowcompare_preview.png)
+
+## Environment Setup
+- The following packages were used at the time of development, and you may be able to use more recent versions:
+    - ipykernel 6.29.0
+    - mikeio 1.6.3
+    - matplotlib 3.8.2
+    - ipywidgets 8.1.5
+
+```{python}
+import matplotlib as mpl
+import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
+import numpy as np
+import mikeio
+import ipywidgets as widgets
+```
+
+## Inputs Section
+
+```{python}
+mikeSheSnowDfs2Path = "../../data/MikeSheExtract.dfs2"
+modisSnowDfs2Path = "../../data/ModisExtract.dfs2"
+
+mikeSheSnowDfs2 = mikeio.read(mikeSheSnowDfs2Path)
+modisSnowDfs2 = mikeio.read(modisSnowDfs2Path)

+## Analysis Section
+
+- This section uses ipywidgets to make dynamic queries to the Dfs2 files, so it can only be run locally after you have downloaded this notebook
+
+```{python}
+ui = widgets.HBox([modisSlider, msheSlider])
+out = widgets.interactive_output(sliders_changed, {'msheSlider' : msheSlider, 'modisSlider' : modisSlider})
+display(ui, out)
+```
