A "Climate Change Indicators: Snowfall" webpage published by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency states that warmer temperatures evaporate more water from lands and oceans, which in turn leads to higher precipitation rates and a higher frequency of storms.
"In general, a warmer climate causes more of this precipitation to fall in the form of rain instead of snow," the EPA wrote.
