What Is the Future of Snow? Grappling With Climate Change and Warmer Winters
Between the Winter Olympics and our dry January, I’ve been thinking a lot about snow over the last few weeks. Last month, Reno saw no measurable precipitation for the first time since such records were kept. The dry streak has continued past January. And although there have been longer periods of dryness in the region, it’s enough to be noticeable, matched with warm temperatures that make it feel more like spring than winter.
Maybe it’s the weather whiplash that makes it feel especially noticeable. The water year started out strong.
