Long-term Northern Hemisphere snow trends are somewhat mixed, but overall show decreases in metrics such as snow cover extent, snow water equivalent, and snow depth (Kunkel et al. 2016). Findings include a negative trend in maximum seasonal snow depth between the winter of 1960-1961 and the winter of 2014-2015. The trend is especially strong in North America, and apparent to a lesser extent in European stations discussed in the study.
