https://www.scientificamerican.com/arti ... in-alaska/ GLOBAL WARMING DOUBLED SNOWFALL IN ALASKA — STUDY Snowfall in south-central Alaska has dramatically increased over the last 150 years because of climate change, scientists said in a report released yesterday. According to the study published in the journal Scientific Reports, summer snowfall has risen by about 49 percent since the mid-19th century, and winter snowfall has increased by a whopping 117 percent. It may sound counterintuitive — after all, Alaska is experiencing the fastest rate of warming in the country, and the central part of the state has already seen its temperatures climb by 2 to 3 degrees over the last 50 years. But warmer air can hold more moisture, the researchers say, allowing for greater amounts of precipitation, including snow. |

Yeah, it doubled snowfall, but at the same time permafrost melts in many places and many houses are giving up to erosion. I am sure in Arctic areas we will see many rapid changes, which will affect locals and animals. |
