Another global warmer completely unbounded by facts :

Actually, we are off to a rather impressive early start to the ski season here in Colorado.
Breckenridge already has four feet of base and most of the remaining areas open this week. http://www.skireport.com/colorado/ Temperatures have been running far below normal.
When you are saving the planet, it is OK to just make stuff up …..

Give me a break! The next several days should bring extreme cold to Colorado along with abundant snowfall. Nature has not been cooperating with the alarmists, so make up any lie to fool the ignorant.
I was wondering when the warmists would try to pull this. Oddly, the MSM stated the early snow fall (they seem to do that here in CO only in the winter, when it’s ski season):

Moving onto a global look, this link is great, I should probably bookmark it:

We’re running a bit below climatology right now (that may change soon), but the best graph is at the very bottom with the 10-year snowcover. Clearly, the last 10 years have netted well above average. The CAGCD crowd might say that increased snow cover is a part of theory, and who knows…maybe they’re right. But if so, doesn’t that represent a strong negative feedback to the system due to albedo changes? I’d imagine that it’d have a much stronger impact than albedo changes due to sea ice loss considering the sun actually shines on the more southern areas that get snow (and it’s a lot more area, especially since there’s a lot of high elevation area).

One quick question though…what metric is this guy using?
If it’s the first snow of the front range (we’ll define that as CO Springs to Fort Collins), he may be right. But in terms of substantial snowfall, I don’t think we’re that far back off of normal (someone please let me know if you have numbers showing that to be wrong).
On the other hand, where was this guy last year when we got smashed with early cold and snow? There were two big (one of them MASSIVE) snowfalls before the end of October, and at one point our daily high temps were flirting with record lows.
