Water goes 'missing' with snow loss

[Still Waters]

A new study finds that if temperatures rise and more precipitation falls as rain rather than snow, it will reduce the total amount of water in rivers.

It is a surprising observation. One might expect the timing of water flow to change but not the overall volume.

That's something to worry about, yes. Will have to dig into the paper more.

Perhaps more of the water remains in the air as humidity? Just a guess.
