Only two instances of record snowfall after 2000.



If global climate was shifting or warming we would expect more snow since, as many people like to argue, the ice is melting and causing more volatile weather patterns. This WOULD cause more snowfall if it were true.UH OH. SNOW!?! IN WINTER!?! Like every year!?! Is this Global Climate Change? Why haven't we broken a record?
`Hmmm, I don't see any records for like 1920 or 1880. Global warming has been proceeding for some time.



But anyway, records at isolated locations don't mean much. You need to connect the dots better, grasshopper.



Now if you had the data and knew how to integrate it for snow-inches per day average, you might show a much better trend. This data could be argued either way with no right answer.
*yawn*UH OH. SNOW!?! IN WINTER!?! Like every year!?! Is this Global Climate Change? Why haven't we broken a record?
in bed.
Because, you aren't going to dramatically see a difference. It can take all the way up to 100 years till everything changes. No we don't expect more snow. We are worried that ice from Antarctica and tundra areas that are covered in ice year round will suddenly become warmer areas that will melt ice that has been there for thousands of years.. Its a serious thing.. Take an environmental or interdisciplinary class at your local community college and you will learn a lot of information that will lead you to believe that its not global warming, its climate change.UH OH. SNOW!?! IN WINTER!?! Like every year!?! Is this Global Climate Change? Why haven't we broken a record?
If you were trying to get an indication of global warming, why would you use such an indirect metric like record years of snowfall in the United States?



If you're interested in the long term-trend in the global average temperature, why not just look at that directly? It's easily available from a number of different sources, such as NASA.
