Thanks to the La Niña climate pattern, the U.S. is experiencing a dramatic drop in snow coverage.

Meteorologists reported that only 23 percent of the surface of the lower 48 states yesterday was covered in snow, compared to 70.9 percent cover nationally on the same day in 2011. Joe Pollina, a meteorologist in the service’s New York office, said that the La Niña climate pattern is to thank for this year’s mild weather.

“This year’s very different from last year,” Pollina said. “We’re gonna see extremes in weather — last year there was heavier snow, and this year it’s milder.”
