Much has been made of our dry winter thus far in the Northern Wasatch. Here's some fun SWE curves from two #SNOTEL sites. Not the worst year YET but not looking good....

How will warming affect #FreshWater stores? Less #snow in the #mountains and more #rain could have major implications for regions worldwide. Most are not prepared. In PNAS Front Matter: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

In high-elevation Utah, near 9,000 feet, snow should accumulate and stick all winter. Researcher McKenzie Skiles and her team dig a pit to track shifts in snow depth and the volume of water stored there. Image credit: Otto Lang and McKenzie Skiles/The University of Utah, Salt Lake City.
Future #winters promise less #snow in the #mountains and more #rain. That shift could have major implications for #WaterSupplies in regions around the world. In PNAS Front Matter: www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Anne Heggli presented her research about rain-on-snow events at #AGU23. She looked at a late 2022 storm in the #Sierras to illustrate how hourly data from the #SNOTEL network can be used to give real-time risk levels of flooding. bit.ly/hegglirainon... #WideOpenScience
