Résumé

Snow accumulation during the 2017/18 winter was well above average across the Eurasian Arctic, consistent with an early start to the snow season . North American Arctic snow accumulation was near normal until May and June when what snow remained was generally deeper than usual for the time of year. Snow cover extent for Eurasia was above average during April, slightly above average for May, and below average by June (relative to the 1981-2010 average). This month-to-month change is consistent with unusually high early spring accumulation combined with rapid late spring snow loss. Despite relatively high spring snow accumulation and snow cover extent over the Arctic during the previous two spring seasons, long-term trends remain negative. https://arctic.noaa.gov/Report-Card/Report-Card-2018/ArtMID/7878/ArticleID/782/Terrestrial-Snow-Cover
