Compare the size of the glaciers! (not the snow cover) Both cover area 
and thickness. Not too subtle. Hugh losses with some glaciers totally 
missing.  And this is the center of the most glaciated region in the 
lower 48. Total precip has been relatively stable or slightly higher 
which is predicted by the models for this area. What has changed is the 
form the precipitation takes / altitude, i.e. snow vs rain. A 
compounding factor is the fact that the majority of the huge amount of 
yearly precip (500cm+) is delivered by just a handful of weather events, 
the Pineapple Express. Timing is crucial.

And this is just the last 30 years!
