  21. 21. source: National Climate Assessment 2014 data set: Global Historical Climatology Network - Daily Its already raining more.
  22. 22. Rawlins, GRL, 2012 Future warmer winters.
  23. 23. Rawlins, GRL, 2012 Future wetter winters.
  24. 24. In summary. 1. Loss of Arctic sea ice and snow cover 2. Decrease in Equator to Pole temperature gradient 3. More N-S movement in JS 4. Warmer, wetter winters 5. More extreme and longer lasting events
  25. 25. Connecting the Arctic to your backyard Polar amplification and the jet stream
