“…For example, in mid-February 2021, a severe snowstorm shut down nearly half of Texas's power plants, leaving 4.3 million people without power and heat for several days, resulting in large economic losses. Winter snowstorms are more common in northern Russia and wreak havoc, where residents experience more challenging lives (Bychkova and Rubinshtein, 2013). In early 2008, a severe snowfall event occurred in southern China, which led to more than 100 million people being affected and direct economic losses above 20 billion dollars (Zhou et al, 2011).…”

The observed spatial-temporal variations in daily snowfall over the Eurasian continent from 1980 to 2019 are explored in this study. The results show that the snowfall amount and its number of days are mainly centred in the high latitudes and high terrain regions of the Eurasian continent (such as North Asia), while they are relatively small in Southern Europe, Central Asia and East Asia. During the past decades, a decreasing trend can be observed for snowfall amounts and the numbers of days over most regions of Eurasia, while increases are clear in terms of the mean intensity. In response to climate warming in recent decades, the first date of snowfall occurrence postponed and the ending date advanced across the Eurasian continent. Furthermore, the change characteristics of the different grades of snowfall are also investigated across this region, including light snowfall, moderate snowfall, heavy snowfall and snowstorm. The light snowfall and number of days show a decreasing tendency, which mainly results in a decrease in the total snowfall amount and number of days. However, the amounts of heavy snowfall and snowstorms and their numbers of days are significantly increased, implying that the Eurasian continent has experienced increased severe snowfall events during recent decades.
