The ever-icy presence is due to an interesting phenomenon known as a "cold trap"

Declining water levels in the Great Salt Lake contribute to snowmelt

A new study suggests winter crops may reduce snow reflectivity

New UMD-led research highlights the need for better regulation and pollution management strategies

Since 1915, the average snowpack in western states has declined by between 15 and 30 percent, researchers say

Surprisingly, cloudy, gray and humid winter days can actually cause the snowpack to warm faster, increasing the likelihood of melt during winter months when the snowpack should be growing

Unprecedented findings strengthen connections between winter storms and tropical waters

The team showed that observed snowpack loss between the 1980s and 2000s is consistent with results from climate simulations with combined changes in natural factors and human influences

A surprising trove of data yields indications of increased Arctic snowfall in times of warming 

Researcher says snow absorbs sound a lot like many commercial sound absorbing materials
