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.
Then tell me this. Why does it work the other way round? Why do people keep saying "there has been no snow, so global warming must exist"?
