Fig. 3.

Modeled baseline and future snow conditions. (A) Length of the main snow season for the three observation years (black horizontal lines) and boxplots of snow season length for the recent past (1970–1999) baseline (blue shading) and future time periods (mid-century, 2030–2059; late-century, 2070–2099) and emissions scenarios (orange shading, RCP4.5; red shading, RCP8.5). Future boxplots represent entire population of results from 19-member climate model ensemble. Bold horizontal lines are the median, and diamonds are the mean. B is the same as A except for annual maximum snow water equivalent.
