Time Magazine deserves a Winter Olympics Gold medal ,degree of difficulty 9.9, for its verbal gymnastics with multiple twists to implicate global warming in the huge US snowstorms.The article says :While the frequency of storms in the middle latitudes has decreased as the climate has warmed, the intensity of those storms has increased. That's in part because of global warming — hotter air can hold more moisture, so when a storm gathers it can unleash massive amounts of snow. Colder air, by contrast, is drier; if we were in a truly vicious cold snap, like the one that occurred over much of the East Coast during parts of January, we would be unlikely to see heavy snowfall.
So if I have it right hot air causes snowstorms .I 'm having trouble picturing what global cooling will do if this is global warming!
So in January it's natural but in February it's man made global warming. I'm glad that's all sorted then.
