Projected NH Average Winter Temperatures in Low and High-Emissions Scenarios

A 20 percent reduction in snowmaking days for NH ski areas, or a 50 percent cut. Deep snow cover for 60 days or less than 30 (the current average is about 100). Winter precipitation falling mainly as rain, or as snow. These are the outcomes tied to two possible climate pathways for New Hampshire: one in which the world warms roughly 4.3 degrees Fahrenheit from pre-industrial levels, and one in which it warms roughly 7.7 degrees. For NH ski areas, especially those in southern and low-altitude areas, and those that lack the funds to pay for frequent snowmaking and trail maintenance, the lower emissions scenario still spells trouble. But experts say there is a world of difference between 4.3 and 7.7 degrees of warming.
