Impact of Climate Change on Snowfall Patterns in Gothic, Colorado

Billy Barr, a 'citizen scientist,' has been measuring snow and weather data in Gothic, Colorado for over 50 years. His data reveals the impact of climate change on snowfall patterns, which is crucial for water resources in the drought-stricken Southwest. Despite being unpaid, Barr's contributions have informed scientific papers and helped calibrate snow sensing tools. He hopes that high-tech water forecasting tools will lead to unconventional solutions for managing water resources.
