anybody that looks around and says, "Mr. Gore, last Feb may have indeed been warm somewhere", a fact that has been attributed to El Nino, "but I had more snow in my home town this year than I've had in 30 years", is considered to be in league with anti-environmentalists, and in league with the oil companies.

The "I've had lots of snow, so global warming isn't a problem" is a strawman argument. The relationship between temperature and snowfall is increadibly complex, and most of the time is isn't possible to come up with a simple relationship between the two. So, unless there is a lot of reasearch behind it, attempts to use snowfall as evidence that the climate is/isn't getting warmer should be treated as an attempt to deliberatly confuse the issue.
