   I saw on Fox News last night that precipitation for January in the US was below normal.

   I have never been sure how snow is measured in these figures, but it seems to give the lie to the claim that “warm air” has carried more moisture and been responsible for lots of snow.

     That’s right Paul.
     I think the ratio of snow to rain is something like 12 to 1.
     12 inches of snow = 1 inch of rain.

     Usually in the winter it’s rain, and a lot more of it.

     So you’re right, this blows a big hole in their warmer Arctic/more moisture thing.

     Which blows an even bigger hole in their “we’re climate scientists” BS…..

       cold turning what would have been little below normal rain into record snow. but the global warmers are saying “so what”. The rest of the world is laughing at them and Al Gore.

   Does anyone in the “skepticsphere” (to which I belong!) keep track of changes in low level cloud cover (LCC)? Wouldn’t it be interesting to compare the last year (and later 2011) with e g that a few years after the latest solar maximum, like 2003.

   (I guess Svensmark is right, as his latest studies, and CERN, shows. But without good knowledge one can of course not interpret data too simple, or with unsuitable confidence. I don’t know if the LCC data is easy to fetch. Maybe WUWT has had posts on this? A temperature delay is about 3 years, I think, but the thermostat may be set on low temperature now.)

     There have been dozens of news articles written in the last couple of weeks about declining snow cover.

       It’s abovenormalbelownormal snow caused by global warming.

       In global warming when it’s above normal that means ‘below normal’. When it’s below normal then that’s ‘normal’ .

       ya, so what. brilliant. Go out and start telling people face to face that the record snow is caused by global warming. you’ll find out what. But I know you’re afraid to do that. It’s easy to come and post a snide comment on the internet then run.

       Anonymous propagandizing about global warming causing record snow is easy. So what.

   If it wasn’t for the endless global warming brainwashing and disinformation , would any sane person think it is warming?

   anybody believing we can tell between 90 and 92 and therefore declare the oceans a net sink knows little about science and has never written a scientific paper
