Global warming really screwed up our snowfall last weekend when it got too warm and rained about 4 inches. That would have been about 16 inches of snow. Instead we will NOT have a white Christmas in Ohio.
Who is "we"?
I was just skiing in the Oregon Cascades and there is barely any snow and it was 40 F and raining at 6000 feet. Far from the snowiest December.
global warming models predict more snow, less snow, more rain, less rain, higher temperatures, lower temperatures, and the current average temperatures/precipication amounts. Whatever is happening, GW models have got you covered.

That's comforting to know.
It's quite warm in Europe right now and there is probably no snow in the whole Europe except some mountains.
It was 70 degrees an is the driest calander year on record here in the Bay Area.
Global Warming or climate change is global. It shifts weather patterns. Some get more rain some less. Generally the concern is that the precipitation will move away from areas with fertile soil.

Yes, warmer weather = greater water evaporation = more water vapor in air = more precipation
I'm sure there are more than enough correction factors in the weather models that the environmental scientists can shift their models in real time to "best fit" the current weather while maintaining an upward end slope to the temperature predictions.
I don't care what you doomsayers or you idiot skeptics think. I'm in Tahoe and it looks like the Sahara for the third year running and the whole ghost town is about to collapse and I'm not happy at all.

Yeah, I'm wondering where you're at. We're on track to having another low snowfall year in Utah. Couple days ago it was around 40 and raining. It was raining again a few days before that. New York had it's hottest day on record about a week ago. Science looks at all the numbers all over the world, not just the ones in your area.
No, generally the concern is people will do something that Al Gore and his ilk don't want them to do.

So it must have been REALLY warm when the Cordilleran and Laurentide ice sheet were formed!

There are some theories that global warming slows the Jet Stream down which in turn forces it to swing wildly down away from the poles creating very cold temps. A few weeks ago there were several places in Oregon dropping to almost -20F no including the wind chill and now is 40+F and raining instead of snowing. As well as huge swings up towards the poles creating very warm weather.
Because of these wild swings in the jet stream, the weather events like the one that forced record rainfall in the Boulder area this year as well as Tornadoes might start to be come normal. The weather patterns traditionally tied to one area are going to become more wide spread. Expect Tornado Alley to cover a much larger area and the monsoon rains of the SE to push further up into the country unpredictably.
Well there's the old saying from Tip O'Neill: "All climate is local."
