Thinking about winter

Dr. Jeff Masters has a good post on current conditions in the United States of Snow and the likelihood that global warming means we can expect more of the same.

If you don't want to follow the link, the short version is that warmer-than-average winters also tend to be snowier than average. So, not only is all this recent snow not evidence against global warming, but we should expect more of it for a few decades. (Eventually it may get too warm for snow, in at least some places that are getting it now.)
