Across the U.S., winters are warming faster than any other season, with historical winter temperatures showing an average increase of over 6.8 degrees in classic winter regions.
The extent of snow cover in North America is gradually shrinking along with the length of the season that would support it, indicating significant climate impacts.
Springtime snows are especially vanishing, as researchers have identified a 'snow-loss cliff' that marks a critical temperature threshold above which snowpack diminishes quickly.
