This helps to explain the odd weather we've experienced in the northeast the past few years:
Ten climate scientists say the idea of less snow and more blizzards makes sense: A warmer world is likely to decrease the overall amount of snow falling each year and shrink the snow season. But when it is cold enough for a snowstorm to hit, the slightly warmer air is often carrying more moisture, producing potentially historic blizzards.It's always nice to learn why things happen. I think they call this "science".
