Winter is winter and it will be cold. Seems that if things are heating-up globally, there would be more moisture in the air, thus more snow in the winter...just sayin.
Having been around for 7+ decades, and living in our northern most state - I have observed what has long been established - the 22 year cycle, divided by 11 of Solar Minimum and 11 of solar Maximum, brings - climate changes! And the the Soar Minimum - less SUN SPOT activity, brings colder winters with more snow. And, unfortunately, we have had little to NO sun spots for some time now. Brrr.
That's science.
...just saying.
Technically it is not Winter yet. We still have a few more days of Fall left. It just seems like winter.
