Snowfall Trends In New York
By Paul Homewood
Another of the myths perpetuated by alarmists is that winter snowfalls are getting heaver because of a warmer, moister atmosphere. (And yes, it was another one peddled by Paul Douglas in the Guardian recently).
It is fortunate then that we have that Climate Stations website, which archives so much old data.
We looked at their records for Minneapolis, but they also have stuff for New York City, including this chart for snowfall:

It is easy just to look back to around 1970, and see a trend that does not exist. This is a common trick that warmists use.
But a look at the full period shows the true story, one which does not support the alarmist agenda.

I was in New York in 1970/71 and the snow was very light. It was somewhat disappojnting!
disappointing – sorry!
Reblogged this on Climate Collections.
Here is a nice discussion of how measurement of snowfall over time has changed and how it likely contributes a positive bias to later years’ snowfall.

Rutgers Snow Lab NH anomalies are pretty flat in the satellite era. Especially so for the last roughly 24 years. So on that basis global warming produces more snow which is balanced out by global warming causing less snow. Or something.
All warmists ever do is try to bend the facts, or the supposed facts, to fit the scenarios of doom and gloom they are addicted to. This is not science in any way at all.
Would this sum up CAGW/CC: hotter/colder, wetter/drier, more snow/less snow, higher pressure/lower pressure, more cloudy/less cloudy, windier/less windy, higher humidity/lower humidity?
Natural variation then!
