Snow Line

The Sierra โ€œSnow Lineโ€ Is Rapidly On The Rise | Itโ€™s Gone Up By 1,200โ€ฒ โ€“ 1,500โ€ฒ In Recent Years

According to KQED, warming temperatures have pushed the snow line in the Sierra up by 1,200ft โ€“ 1,500ft in recent years. To come up with this data, researchers used a special snow-level sensing radar to monitor the rain-snow line over the course of 10 years. After gathering that data, they cross-checked the results with temperature data from the mid-20th century [โ€ฆ]
