Global warming has little to do with day to day weather. This month has been the coldest, snowiest November since 1994. That year November brought us 71 inches of snow in that month alone. So far this year, it has brought us 45 inches- but we're not done yet. Whenever our weather warms up, it inevitably brings us snow. Next Wednesday we're supposed to reach a high of 28 (our highs have been in the teens this month and our lows just below zero) with snow showers forecast.
This is Alaska, granted, but it is in southeast Alaska. In Fairbanks, even in Anchorage, 700 and 600 air miles away respectively, Alaska weather is much more severe than what we get in Southeast. Our norms are 104 inches of snow per winter, our temperatures ranging from lows of 15 up to about 40. But that is in the dead of winter - hey, normally snow doesn't stay on the ground until mid-December - and some years it doesn't stick until January.
Global warming has little to do with day to day weather. But it has quite a lot to do with weird weather... In the meantime, it is cold.
