Late-lying snowpatches in eastern Canada are rapidly declining. Riva and Germain's #newarticle uses remote sensing, topographic indices, and climate projections to reveal strong sensitivity of snowpatch persistence to small changes in temperature and solar energy: doi.org/10.1080/1523...
Figure 3. Location of the study area in Gaspésie National Park, Québec, Canada. Panel a shows the location of the Gaspésie region within the province of Québec. Panel B shows the two principal study massifs, Mt. Albert and the McGerrigle Mountains, where recurrent snowpatches were investigated. A) The map shows the province of Quebec, Canada, highlighting its location relative to Hudson Bay, Labrador Sea, Ontario, New Brunswick and the Gulf of Saint Lawrence. The legend indicates the province of Quebec. B) The map of Gaspesie National Park in eastern Quebec displays the McGerrigle Mountains and Mt. Albert. The legend marks summits/mountains. The park is part of the northern Appalachian Range, with a scale bar indicating distances from 0 to 5 km.

Longest lasting snowpatch in Scotland about to melt completely for the 6th year in a row! ❄️🔥

For the record, it melted only 3 times during the 20th century! 📉

Snowpatch Spire in Bugaboo Provincial Park.

I was hoping for the Milky way but the clouds had other ideas.

It took awhile to get a somewhat clear sky and enough moonlight to get a shot I was happy with.

A dramatic mountain landscape under a starry night sky, with clouds partially obscuring the peaks and patches of snow on rocky surfaces.

It's my thread and I'll derail it if I want to. Here is a picture from a few days ago, climbing Xerolakki (pretty... engaging... terrain) with the backside of Stefani on Olympus I think.
Three rocky mountain peaks (limestone) surrounded by some clouds with also some blue sky visible. We are in the alpine and it is mostly rock but there is some greenery (grasses etc) as well as a snowpatch to the right.

Named, of course, for Bugaboo Spire and Snowpatch Spire in the Purcell Mountains here in BC

Any correlation to computer terms is purely coincidental

A large tree with moss-covered branches stands in a park, its thick trunk rooted in grassy ground. A patch of snow lingers in the background, hinting at seasonal transition. The late-day light casts long shadows, highlighting the contrast between cold and growth. — Moss cloaks ancient bark, / Snow lingers in fading light, / Time curls in the roots.

Snowpatch on roof shrinks,
Squirrels have room to scamper
Out without their boots.

We are in dark and stormy days☁️
Escaping away to the mountains has always helped me reset and ground myself with nature. 🏔️
ReEnergize and then stand up for what matters ✊

Woah.

‘Australian alpine regions have experienced ~1°C warming since the 1970s with substantial decline in the amount of snow

‘The area occupied by snowpatch plant communities has decreased since then: 86% of snowpatches have declined, on average by 41.6%’.
