Reposted by Lejo Flores, Ph.D.Chris Bianchi @bianchiweather.bsky.social · 26/01/2026Welp. Colorado's snowpack is the worst on record, and there's barely any snow on the way for the mountains for the next 14 days. Northern mountains get a bit on Thursday, but it's a drop in the bucket. This pattern stinks. This winter stinks. #COwx 46510

Lejo Flores, Ph.D. @hydrolejo.bsky.social · 08/01/2026A large December storm hit the mountains of the Pacific Northwest – and left snow conditions in the Yakima Basin worse off in its wake. How might this event be a harbinger of winters to come? I offer this perspective piece, published today in @theconversation.com #snow #drought #climatechangetheconversation.comThe western US is in a snow drought, and storms have been making it worseA major atmospheric river brought record precipitation to the Pacific Northwest, yet the snow and water supply still suffered. It’s a growing problem. 073
