Over the past 25 years, there has been no net change in Northern Hemisphere snow cover. The amount of snow in autumn and winter has increased, while spring and summer snow cover has decreased. Note that there has been a large increase in peak snow cover, but no change in the minimum.
Climate experts normally only discuss the months which show decreasing snow cover, because they aren’t actual scientists.
I have read several times now how things are “moving up”. Tornadoes, snow cover, temperatures, etc. I would love for a real scientist to look into that phenomenon.
I think that is a reflection of their personal philosophy, encapsulated in this, which probably echoes in their head more than we’d imagine:

By the way, in case anyone has failed to notice, the rhythm of these kinds of songs is just like a metronome, and ideal for hypnosis and the subliminal implantation of ideas.

It has a Hip Hop feel to it.
Yes, and you’d probably agree that is no accident.

Very good adaptation.So who is Mr. J and who is Weezy?
Thanks; I would have to say George represents the more technically minded among them, and Weezy the more socially minded for lack of a better term. I would also note that the intention with the song was more to appeal to White allies, since by that time the Black community was already quite well indoctrinated with this kind of mythology. I speak from personal experience, as I went through that particular “treatment”, when I was 8-9 years old, and it took nearly 20 years for me to be fully detoxed from its effects. People may laugh, but that just tells me they haven’t been detoxed yet. We are talking some of most powerful mind-altering methods in existence. And they’ve been deployed on a mass scale for 40 years or more. Many have been born, lived their lives, and already died, completely within the lifespan of this massive medical experiment. RTF
this would merely imply a shift of the time window, a documented phenomena related to our eccentric orbit and axial wobble. I give it a big yawn but the Cherry Pickers of America seem to love this stuff as it gives them another chance to scare the panty wetters with dire pronouncements of imminent doom!
The question would be has the number of days with snow cover changed?
If there is a shift in ‘seasons’ due to the axial wobble, looking at data grouped in months is not going to tell us what the actual net effect is. However since the eccentricity cycle is about 100,000 years, and Axial tilt has a a periodicity of 41,000 years and wiki lists a change of ~20 minutes per year for the change in season compared to the stars or 8.5 hours in 25 years, I can not see the Milankovitch Cycles causing the change. They are just too slow.
I have read somewhere that some glaciers are growing while others shrink but that is due to a shift in precipitation patterns. So is the change due to a change in fall/spring precipitation patterns?
I would say snow cover is INCREASING along with more frigid temps. It does depend on which region of the world is discussed. Almost every year in the past 10 years, some area of the world has set a ‘record’ of wintry weather – cold, ice, snow cover etc. Since the poles are expanding – I would assume that in general the cover of snow is as well overall.
I think so too and that is why I think looking at the days vs months may be important. Months are just too course a measurement.
I wish I was not ‘Computer Challenged’ with a clunky old computer that can’t even play videos without crashing. I would really like to dig into the data and see what it is actually saying. The Climastrologists certainly are not going to do the study and tell us.
Steven, you can graph and present this better than I, so if you plot the 10 year average NYC annual snowfall from 1860s to 2013, you will see that it has recently returned to years before 1920 (as the LIA was ending/abating) That’s the real hockey stick. Please be my guest:

This is not a discussion of winter snowfall. I am discussing area of snow coverage during the entire year.
” Note that there has been a large increase in peak snow cover, but no change in the minimum.”

HMMmm, If I recall from either my early readings or my ancient GEO courses, the thought was that glaciation was not so much caused by a decrease in temperatures in the winters as by an increase in snow cover (If it is too cold it doesn’t snow) and a lack of hot summers to melt the increased snow cover.
We saw a bit of that in Alaska in 2012:
Endless Winter for Alaska’s Mountains This Year
Neve – The first stage in glacier formation is seen in Scotland, over 300 patches of snow remaining.
Scotland is something of a canary in the coal mine since it is on the edge of where glaciers may or may not form.

Ain’t Gore Bull Warbling grand?
It is where the missing Arctic ice is hiding.
Weather patterns, as has been noted before right here, seem to be, as far as North America is concerned, returning to those that saw ice ages of the past. Government is always good at preparing for the past war, so government being concerned about massive warming when odds are it is cooling we need to be preparing for is should be no surprise.
Of course the new fright story they are attempting to gain traction with is the warming unleashing massive methane releases. Bill Moyers is on board with that, so you know it is a serious attempt. Moyers, who has spent his life at the taxpayer teat, is one of their go-to guys in media when they are moving in a certain direction.
Methane emissions are now the current problem and Moyers is hosting the bean burrito and beer night this month?
