“The weather cares about which direction the (weak) magnetic field lines of the earth are pointing?”

Where are the largest deposits of ice on the earth? The poles. If the poles move then the weather that deposits the ice and snow must be in some way affected.

Seems logical to me.

The geographic poles are ice covered because they see little sun. The magnetic poles can change all they want, even come out the equator, it wont matter, as long as the earth continues to tilt the way it does, and keep the geo poles farthest away from the sun.

Pure chance. All the gas planets have magnetic poles that are tilted further than ours and their geographic polar regions are still where its coldest. I think its Uranus that has a magnetic pole pointed almost directly at the sun and its warmest there and the opposite pole faces away from the sun.
