I plotted out Rutgers northern hemisphere snowcover, with the 24-month running mean, and as you can see there is no trend to the data since at least 1990. Claims of declining snowcover are incorrect.

Their claims of mild winters and less snow is killing people again this year…
…what is it going to take for people to get mad enough to hold them responsible?
Holding people responsible takes effort. It’s easier to not make the effort. Most people take the easier way. What is it going to take? When people are at the point where they are backed against a wall they will make the effort to hold them responsible, I reckon.

Snow, so rare.
hmm, a 24 mth running mean under- represents the last 12 months, which surely have been consistently above average?
what claims of declining snow cover? be specific.
Where you been?
ROFLMAO!!!!!!
Are blinders part of your required equipment to belong to the CLB?
Or is it just STML that is required?
Hey, they’re losing, they can feel it. So asking for specifics, when the specifics is what they’ve been putting in our face then screaming about dangerous global warming with it, is all they have right now. I don’t expect them to use their imagination and come up with anything better. It’s hard to think when you’re the deer in the headlights. Or is it, when you’re the bug on the windshield?
It will be interesting to see if 10/11 goes higher than 78/79.
That chart does not seem to indicate that the end of world as we know it is near!
Still waiting for actual references to claims of declining snow cover…
Because what I expect we’ll find is that the claims are valid in the context they have been made. If it was so slam dunk why haven’t you cited something that IPCC AR4 says about NH snow cover that is obviously untrue?
Not that I expect many of you have bothered to check.
Stop “believing” in a touchy feely way (science doesn’t work like that) and start actually looking up facts.
so the context will make claims of “snow a thing of the past” and “permanent drought” true even if snowcover is not declining and we get one year of record snowfall after another instead of drought?
ah, the warmist logic.
AR4? even the lead authors said it did not represent their views or the science!
So in thisw context, you concede, this post is correct>
I’m sure the “it just hasn’t happened quite yet.. give it time” arguments will come out soon.
