"Record Warmth: The U.S. Winter That Disappeared"
TL;DR Summary
The U.S. experienced its warmest winter on record, with temperatures more than 5 degrees Fahrenheit hotter than average, leading to low ice cover on the Great Lakes, diminished snow cover, and adverse effects on agriculture and water supply. The trend of warming winters, attributed to human-caused greenhouse gas emissions, has far-reaching implications, including the spread of diseases, reduced crop yields, and dwindling snowpack in the Western U.S., posing significant challenges for various regions and ecosystems.
