Global warming can bring heavy snow, light snow or no snow.
Used to be, New England winters were big snow years or low snow years — but never no snow years. The New England skier was not raised to consider snow an unreliable occurrence.
But after a winter with little more than trace amounts of snow, which followed a winter of record snowfalls, it is hard to have clear expectations as ski season begins.

“According to the leaders of the global warming doomsday cult, the average surface temperature of Earth is 14 degrees Celsius (57.2 degrees Fahrenheit), but this is a new value which has quietly replaced the original average of 15 degrees Celsius (59 degrees Fahrenheit).”
“In other words, James Hansen sent word that 14 is the new 15.
Cooling of the past: you ain’t seen nothing yet.
After my definitive Venus/Earth temperatures comparison, which compared the 1976 Standard Atmosphere troposphere with Venus as measured on October 5, 1991, I emphasized that the truth is not an unstable “climate”, subject to runaway global warming, but the Standard Atmosphere as the STABLE equilibrium state of Earth’s troposphere — and I made fun of the alarmists in a few comments here and elsewhere, by pointing out that the surface temperature in the Standard Atmosphere, 15°C, was HIGHER than that given by the alarmists even after a century of supposed warming. Obviously, the powers that be didn’t like such a trenchant criticism. They have basically closed the ring now, because they set aside the Standard Atmosphere two generations ago, and now they find they have to officially deny it if they don’t want to be embarrassed by it — or maybe, be not mentioning it at all, they hope to keep anyone from going to my seminal little analysis, which is the definitive correction to climate science, and will have to be faced before climate science can progress one whit. Despite their maneuvering (characteristic of the Insane Left now, also), the Standard Atmosphere compares precisely with Venus, as the above link shows — and has shown all along, for the past two years, though everyone ignores or dismisses it without any proper scientific consideration or judgment at all.
