Well good ol' Al Gore would say all of this is due to global warming. If there was no snow, well its due to global warming too. He has all the bases covered.

I know how they can spin it.

All this snow is because of more moisture not warmer temperatures. This is causing areas that don't normally get snow to get snow. This is going to make more people go to Florida to escape the snow. If enough people go to Florida at the same time it will sink. Therefore, global warming which is causing more snow, is going to cause Florida to sink. :thumbsup:

That's actually theoretically plausible. As temperatures do warm, more moisture is available. However they just haven't warmed enough to bring a majority of rain. But that will happen whether or not its anthropogenic.

I agree it is plausible and may be one reason why we have been doing so good with snow the past 10 years.

But it didn't reach 1998 levels based upon objective satellite data. Besides, it won't matter by the end of this year when we'll have global temperatures back down to where we were 15+ years ago. We've already fallen slightly below normal globally this month, down from +0.7 last summer. Enormous drop, which is expected with a powerful La Nina.

So Storm, do you see us going back into snowier than normal winters like the winters that were talked about 30-50 yrs ago?

Actually the winters around here 30-50 years ago had less snow than what we have been getting the past 10 years. However, they may have been colder.
