Increased rain-on-snow, snowmelt, and rainfall events now carry nutrients and soil into streams and rivers during winter when dormant vegetation cannot absorb them. Of particular concern are so-called “rain-on-snow” events, researchers say, which can cause large, economically and environmentally devastating floods.
