Depending on where you live, warmer winters could mean less and less snow. In some places, it’s only one or two degrees that could make a difference.

Joining us today are two scientists looking at the data around snow in our region and beyond to start to calculate how much snow loss is impacting us, and what it means for our environment.

Less snow can mean a lot of things, including a big impact on winter sports. We also hear from a local ski resort.

And later, we learn about solastalgia.
