What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Vermont and New Hampshire are participating in Snow STORE, a collaborative project across Northern New England designed to study climate change effects on snowpack. The initiative will fund new infrastructure to provide more automated and comprehensive snowpack measurements. According to reports, winter is warming faster in New England than any other season, leading to a decline of about two to three weeks in season shortening and a decline in stored water in the snowpack itself.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Snowpack has crucial ecological and economic effects for the region. The observed changes in snow amount and composition could impact various regional industries. Specifically, less snow and changing water composition may affect the ski industry, increase flood risk, and pose drought risks for farmers during the summer.
