December 2012 the area of snow cover in the northern hemisphere was at its highest for 130 years at almost 3 million square kilometres, or over 200,000 km above the previous record in 1985, according to the United States National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Agency (NOAA), the report said.
Global warming means more snow for Siberia: expert | Business Standard
The IPCC predicted the exact opposite

Milder winter temperatures will decrease heavy snowstorms

shrinking snow cover in winter
h/t to Tom Nelson
Steven, let the experts explain…
“We are now in an era of global warming, and the rising air temperature leads to increased humidity, so the snowfall increases in cold areas,” he explained.”
There you go.
That explanation is for morons. Snow extent has increased because cold air is extending further south.
But, but, but the models! lol
I think he was actually joking/being sarcastic (Gator69). Anyway, in the meantime…. I’ve found out that NH ice extent is now greatest since 2009!!!!

The first years of Arctic ice recovery will be winter ice extent, with a major melt through the summer. It will take a few years before ice extends through the summer, as we need to have thick winter ice to survive the summer, which means a extension-progression from small patches that survive, even as they are blown about.
Ban Gator69! (Just the latest in my series, calling for bans on anything found to be dangerous in any way.) I was going to say, “ban jokes!”, but I think the evidence is clear that it is Gator69 himself that is dangerous to Our Way of Life (amen — and I refuse to register, or even clearly label, my own jokes; so “over my dead body”…you can pry this joke out of my cold, dead hands).
My larger point is, the climate debate is so incompetent (especially on the part of the “experts” and the “authorities”, like NOAA), many people can’t tell a joke (or satire) from a serious statement. (And I know, Steven Goddard is only trying to make things perfectly clear, in an insane debate environment, where all the “authorities” are suborned to a clearly false consensus and actively promoting fraud upon the public.)
Specist!
This global warming in california is killing all my plants.
I suppose it’s really just a warm hard freeze and the plants only have some new variation of heat stroke. By Global Warming Logic, if I now put them in my deep freezer, maybe they’ll recover.
I’ll keep you posted.
I understand that plants suffering from warm hard freeze should be treated by washing them in dry ice. The extra warmth from the back radiation of the (CO2) dry ice may over cook them though, so be careful.
According to the latest climate models, pikas will first move up the mountain, then down the mountain, then up the mountain, etc., etc., etc.

It’s a good time to catch them and make:
