Changes in Snowfall Contribution to Wintertime Precipitation 1949 to 2005
Trends in winter snow-to-total precipitation ratio from 1949 to 2005. Red circles indicate less snow, while blue squares indicate more snow. Large circles and squares indicate the most significant trends.1 Areas south of 37ºN latitude were excluded from the analysis because most of that area receives little snowfall. White areas above that line have inadequate data for this analysis. Image Reference: Feng and Hu1
