Mount Hood Nearly Bare of Snow After Drought and Heat
Original: Drought, heat wave leaves Mount Hood barren by early fall
Mount Hood, Oregon's tallest peak, is unusually barren by early fall after a prolonged drought and summer heat waves stripped away snow and glaciers faster than normal. Oregon Public Broadcasting and NPR's Oregon outlet are reporting on the scene, highlighting the loss of the mountain's iconic snowcap and what it signals for water supplies, glaciers and recreation in the Pacific Northwest.
Why now: The dramatic early loss of snow on an iconic Pacific Northwest peak is being taken as a visible marker of climate stress in the region.
