Reminds me of Data’s creator in Star Trek who was knicknamed “often wrong”.
…. and still, we had a pretty cold and snowy winter in Europe, with snow in areas were it didn’t used to snow…..
I’m not seeing any purple that would indicate 100cm.
You need a better monitor. A crescent below the Black Sea from Russia, Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan and all the way around Northern Turkey to the Sea of Marmara and a few spots towards the Aegean, a ridge all along Western Norway and Southern Central Iceland are the areas I can see without too much trouble that are the 50-100 cm “purple” color.
Not to mention:
Greek islands in the Mediterranean buried under 6½ ft (2 m) of snow
Norway – Forced to remove excessive snow from ski slopes
“During the last two days we’ve got more snow than we had in the last two years together,” says Vegar Sårheim. “I had never believed we would experience this.”

As usual a H/T to Argiris Diamantis and the rest of the folks at IceAgeNow for bring us news that would otherwise stay hidden.
People do not realize that snow and ice was not over the entire Northern part of the Northern Hemisphere but occurred in specific locations, the same as we are seeing now.

Eurasia during most extreme part of full glacial conditions (17,000-15,000 14C y.a.).
Ice masses are the light grey areas so only a small portion of Eurasia was covered by glacier unlike North America.
