California's Snow Deluge Events Predicted to Decline by 2100 Due to Climate Change

A recent study indicates a significant reduction in extreme snowfall events in California and the wider Western U.S., highlighting the impact of global warming on regional snow patterns.

Extreme snowfall in California, termed as 'snow deluges', is expected to decrease by 58% by the end of the century.
The 2023 record snowfall in California was a rare event, with such high levels of snow accumulation becoming increasingly unlikely.
Snow deluges have both positive and negative impacts, including water supply enhancement and potential infrastructure damage.
Climate projections show a general decline in snowfall across the Western U.S., affecting water resources and ecosystems.
Efforts to adapt to changing snow patterns and reduce greenhouse gas emissions are crucial for mitigating future impacts.
