One heavy snowfall doth not an Ice Age make.

One of the effects of global warming is that all weather tends to grow more extreme--but the temperature trend is upward.

A warmer atmosphere holds more moisture in suspension, so one effect of global warming is that when the temperature does cool (temporarily) and the moisture precipitates out, rainfall or snowfall tends to be heavier.

Basic meteorology.
