It's easy to poke fun at the Global Warming crowd who had been (for the most part) shouting that 'Global Warming = Less Snow'... as evidenced by this quote by activist Robert Kennedy HERE) now that we've had record cold temps and snowfall this year.

Of course, careful GW Skeptics always point out that one event, or even one year doesn't make a trend.

Now the GW party line is that the larger snow is of course exactly PROOF OF Global Warming.... warmer air, makes a greater uptake of water, makes more snow.... Let's think this one through.

Pretty much any weather of any kind = Global Warming if you get $$ to keep researching by saying that.

Same thing with the Hurricanes after Katrina.... they were Global Warming induced... the end is nigh. It's been pretty calm in years since, and historically we know hurricanes ebb and flow, but that sort of sane, balance view doesn't get you grants, or sell windmills.

OK, so the point.

IF Global Warming were causing more water uptake and more snow... and we have an undisputed DROP of global temps for the past 11 or so years, wouldn't the snowfall have PEAKED 11 YEARS AGO and have been falling ever since.

And just how much more snow would one expect from a .75 degree raise in global temperature over 100 years?

Enjoy the snow. Take your kids out and build a fort. Have a good snow-day off of school with them. Then come inside and warm up next to the carbon-based fuel of your choice and relax. It's gonna be all right.
