Disappearing snowpack in the American west


Those of us who live in the Upper Midwest have been focusing on record amounts of snowfall.  Meanwhile, the opposite is happening in some western states, where they are currently experiencing record high temperatures.

Copypasting from Facebook is a lazy substitute for doing original research at sources, but I'm so pressed for time right now that this will have to do.  I believe these data are reliable.

  2. When you have time, take a look at the Weather West blog or YouTube channel. This last winter was the warmest on record across most of the Western US.
    Thanks for your interesting blog. Dot
