A team of scientists examined one hundred years of winter temperature and precipitation data from weather stations across the forested areas of the northeastern United States, eastern Canada, and Great Lakes region. Their results show a clear picture of fewer days with cold temperatures and declining snowpack over the last century. This loss of cold and snow, in a region historically adapted to cold, snowy winters, has profound implications for water, wildlife, forests, and people.
