I have a picture from last summer and another one from this winter showing CLEARLY that global cooling is taking place.
I live in Northern California (the Great State of Jefferson): Mt. Shasta is in my back yard, and currently the Glaciers on Mt Shasta are growing. As far as the pictures of Mt Hood, lighting, time of the year and drought conditions play a much bigger part in the snow level then global warming.
