"Snowstorm Slams Northeast: Varied Impacts from NY's Heavy Snowfall to NYC's Persistent Drought"

A nor'easter delivered nearly 15 inches of snow to parts of upstate New York, particularly impacting the Hudson Valley, while New York City continued its nearly 700-day streak without significant snowfall, receiving only 0.2 inches. The city has not seen more than an inch of snow since February 2022, and the forecast suggests that the trend of rain over snow will continue due to warmer conditions. Governor Kathy Hochul noted the storm's impact on the state, but highlighted the sparing of more populated areas.

"Colorado Mountains Face Snow Shortage Amidst Hopes for Weekend Storm Relief"

The Mountain West is experiencing a significant snow drought, with many areas having less than a third of the snow they typically would in January. This is due to warmer temperatures and a lack of moisture-rich storms, possibly influenced by El Niño. Snow water equivalent (SWE) levels are critically low across various regions, impacting winter sports and water resources. Despite entering a colder pattern, the West needs a change in the weather pattern to recover from the deficit. Climate experts warn that such snowless years could become more common due to global warming, with a dramatic decline in mountain snow since the 1950s.

"Sierra Nevada Anticipates Major Shift with Incoming Snow as Northern California Readies for More Precipitation"

California's Sierra Nevada is expecting new snowfall at low elevations, though it will not significantly alleviate the current "snow drought." Southern California has experienced strong winds and cooler temperatures following recent storms that brought record rainfall but below-average snow to the mountains. The snowpack at Phillips Station is at just 30% of the average for the date. Upcoming storms will bring more snow to higher elevations and strong winds to the coast, with significant surf and rip currents expected. Los Angeles County will see minimal rain but strong winds are a concern.

"Eastern Seaboard Braces for Potential First Major Snowfall in Years"

A major storm is expected to hit the Northeast and mid-Atlantic regions, potentially ending a record snow drought in cities like New York, which hasn't seen more than an inch of snow in a single day for 684 days. The storm could bring snow and ice as far as Missouri and southern New England, with temperatures dropping to the mid-30s and low 40s. The path of the storm is still uncertain, but it could also affect cities like Baltimore, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C., which have also experienced extended periods without significant snowfall. This drought has implications for water resources, as the lack of snowpack can lead to drier conditions in the spring and summer months.
