In the western United States, climate warming poses a unique threat to water and snow hydrology because much of the snowpack accumulates at temperatures near 0 °C. As the climate continues to warm, much of the region's precipitation is expected to switch from snow to rain, causing flashier hydrographs, earlier inflow to reservoirs, and reduced Cited by: seasons are a result of.

Mountain snow fields, and glaciers, to a lesser extent, act as natural reservoirs for water in some areas, such as the western United States and Canada. These semi-permanent ice fields store precipitation from the cool season, when most precipitation falls and forms snowpacks, until the warm season when snowpacks melt and release water into rivers. In the United States, even hurricanes only bring a bit more than 12 inches of rain within a day. Snowstorms, on the other hand, can routinely bring feet and feet of snow to an area.
Winter weather research at the National Severe Storms Laboratory. Small variations in temperature determine whether precipitation will fall as sleet, snow, or freezing rain, making forecasting these events very difficult. NSSL scientists are working on new techniques for forecasting and observing winter weather.

By Charles A. (Charles Anthony) Schott, For the entire United States, excluding Hawaii and Alaska, the average amount of moisture falling as rain and snow is inches ( millimetres). The precipitation averages are based on data collected by weather stations throughout each state from to and provided by the NOAA National Climatic Data Center.
Some of these storms will have very little rain, so any lightning strikes could ignite wildfires in this dry region of the country. Meanwhile, intense heat and humidity continues in the South, with heat indices approaching in some locations. 1) Decide WHAT data you want.
In the Layers tab of the sidebar, use the pull-down menus to select your options: Select the desired Date from the date range (data are available after two business days) Select the desired Observation (temperature, precipitation, snowfall, snow depth). If observed, each station dataset includes daily max and minimum temperatures, total precipitation, snowfall, and depth of snow on ground.
What can I do with these data. Check records of past weather: explore how hot or cold it got through the week, how much rain or snow/sleet/hail fell, and how deep any snow was on the ground.

The water vapor that feeds precipitation comes from two sources. One study concludes that about 60 percent of the rain and snow that falls over land comes from moisture originating from the oceans, and the other 40 percent is “recycled” over the continents.
Temporal distributions are provided for 6-hour, hour, hour, and hour durations. The temporal distributions for the duration are expressed in probability terms as cumulative percentages of precipitation totals (see documentation for more information).
Less snow accumulation in the mountains is important in the West and Alaska, where the snowpack stores water for later use. In the Midwest and northeastern states, the frequency of heavy downpours has increased. In many regions, floods and water quality problems are likely to be worse because of climate change.

This figure shows the percentage change in winter snow-to-precipitation ratio from to at weather stations in the contiguous 48 states. This ratio measures what percentage of total winter precipitation falls in the form of snow.
A decrease (red circle) indicates that more precipitation is falling in the form of rain instead of snow.
1 inch (5/10 -makes the snow into rain equivalent) so 1/2 + 1/2 = 1 inch. After a snowstorm, the newspaper reports that Buffalo, New York, received inches of precipitation.
If we assume an average water equivalent ratio for this snowstorm, then Buffalo received about ____ inches of snow. so 15 inches. In the western United States, climate warming poses a unique threat to water and snow hydrology because much of the snowpack accumulates at temperatures near 0°C.
