However, while annual peak daily streamflow (APDF) during the spring freshet in the FRB is historically well correlated with basin - averaged, annual
maximum snow water equivalent (SWEmax), there are numerous occurrences of anomalously large APDF in below - or near - normal SWEmax years, some of which have resulted in damaging floods in the region.
Kevin's snow scenario is exactly what the global climate models show: a shorter snow season everywhere, but increases in
maximum snow water equivalent in the northern continental areas (with decreases in
maximum snow water equivalent in the more southerly regions, where rain - to - snow ratios increase).
