US National Assessment of
the Potential Consequences
of Climate Variability and Change
Winter Snow-Cover Extent

 

 

 

Figure 23: Projections across the US of the decrease in winter average snow cover extent from 2090-2099 (dashed) and 1961-1990 (solid) based on results from the (a) Canadian Model Scenario and (b) Hadley Model Scenarios.  The contours represent the approximate 1 mm snow cover (i.e. at least that amount on average for a given winter month).  The colors represent differences in snow amount in kg/m2.
