New maps show where snowfall is disappearing

Snowfall is declining globally as temperatures warm because of human-caused climate change, a new analysis and maps from a NOAA climate scientist show.
But less snow falling from the sky isn’t as innocuous as just having to shovel less; it threatens to reinforce warming, and disrupt food and water for billions of people.
Climate scientists say the future of snowfall is pretty clear: A warmer world driven by human pollution means precipitation is more likely to fall as rain than snow, all else being equal.

Just started to get a few flakes today here (Twin Cities, MN).
I remember deer hunting as a kid 30 yr ago in November, it was a lot easier to follow a blood trail with a few inches of the white stuff on the ground.

and yeah, the cold is bearable without wind. My snow-adoring doggy girl can attest.
