Snow’s Role in Our Climate
Snow helps keep our Earth cool and plays a big part in our water cycle.
• Natural Reflector: Snow bounces sunlight away from the Earth, helping to regulate temperatures.
• Water Source: As it melts, snow provides essential fresh water for plants, animals, and communities.
How a Changing Climate Is Melting the Magic
Climate change is shifting our winter wonderlands.
• Warming Winters: Higher temperatures mean shorter and lighter snowfalls.
• Ecosystem Impacts: Noticeable shifts in wildlife habits and plant cycles as snow patterns change.
