Does global warming lead to more snow?
[picture is not of my street but rather northern California]
We have been hearing about global warming for some time now but here in Massachusetts it doesn't seem so warm right now. According to the National Climate Data Center, we have seen a slight rise over the past 5 years in our winter [December to February] temperature:
At the same time we have been witness to some what erratic precipitation of the winter months except for this year so far:
Going back 20 years I couldn't find a winter here with more rain, sleet or snow then we are experiencing this winter. And with the below freezing weather we had over the past couple weeks I have begun to wonder if global warming actually exists. Sure we have all seen pictures of melted ice burgs and dried up lakes so maybe it just hasn't gotten here yet. Of course the piles of fluffy white snow might beg to differ.
