Parts of the Midwest have also experienced a decrease, particularly in terms of the snow-to-precipitation ratio. The Pacific Northwest has seen a decline in both total snowfall and the proportion of precipitation falling as snow. Nearly 80 percent of the stations across the contiguous 48 states have experienced a decrease in the proportion of precipitation falling as snow (see Figure 2). One reason for the decline in total snowfall is because more winter precipitation is falling in the form of rain instead of snow.
