Although climate change is having an impact on weather patterns, I think we're putting way too much emphasis on what's happening right now in relation to climate change. There are also things that will happen regardless of climate change. Things have happened a hundred years ago where we've gotten a warmer pattern and I'm sure not much of any snow. Case in point, look at the West right now. Very cold and a lot of snow, and they've been in that pattern for a while.. So we can and will get episodes or stretches like that too. It may still happen this year ( and may not ). The point is, we will get a snowy and cold winter again. They're not dead and gone.
