Perhaps NOAA is tired of people being able to access untampered temperature data, and have blocked access to their public ftp site. They want a private connection to a public (pub) web page.

Hopefully this is a temporary situation.

Climate Central says North American snow cover is on the decline, and it is due in part to winter precipitation falling as rain rather than snow. They say their data comes from Rutgers University.

Snow Cover on the Decline in North America | Climate Central

The actual data from Rutgers University shows 50 years of increasing winter snow extent. Climate Central is simply making things up – like they normally do.

NorAm Winter

Same story with Autumn snow cover. Last year had the highest extent on record.

NorAm Fall

The only season which has a downwards trend is spring, but six of the last nine springs have had above average extent.

NorAm Spring

The complete data set from Reuters shows that snow extent has been increasing since CO2 hit 350 PPM in 1988, and has been continuously above average for the past few years.

Snow Anomalies

The Rutgers data for North America shows no trend since 1973, the date which Climate Central used for their trend.

Climate scientists predicted the exact opposite of what has happened, and having gotten it wrong, they simply lie about the present.

The skill and integrity of climate scientists is abysmal. But to finish on a more positive note – I saw a lot of amazing sights in the Sonoran Desert on New Years Day.
