Animal Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 As you stated pure averages, do not take into account any official "smoothing" of the raw #'s I was just pondering the idea..but your chart proves the theory of global warming is hog wash. Records have only been taken for xzy years. It seems the last decade match early records regards avg snowfall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

famartin Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 As you stated pure averages, do not take into account any official "smoothing" of the raw #'s NCDC isn't supposed to do that. In case you are wondering why the official numbers for 1971-2000 are so different, its because the 1996 numbers were not part of their datasets officially when the normals were computed.

ChescoWx Posted January 1, 2011 Share Posted January 1, 2011 Agree...I think by the time anyone figures out whether there is... or is not GW...all of us would have long since shuffled off this mortal coil...
