In the aftermath of a massive lake-effect snowfall event in western New York state on Tuesday, it's worth asking: Is climate change playing a role here? Because, I mean, come on. Seventy seven zero-- inches, people. And another huge round is forecast for Thursday, by the way. Buffalo deserves answers. The short answer is: yes. Global warming is probably juicing lake-effect snows, and we've had the data to prove it for quite some time.

Isn't Calif. in a drought?
Yes....and be VERY afraid....we are at the cusp on the right of this graph....
I guess the 98% consensus climate experts were wrong and MNDude was right! How about that?
Hey Paladin2. Actually we’re getting some sierra rain this morning. Haven’t looked at caltrans cams to see what’s up at the lake or near the Truckee scales. Could be some snow. But not nearly of the epic Buffalo snopocalypse.
Michigan and Superior are colder than average, see http://coastwatch.glerl.noaa.gov/statistic/statistic.html
But Erie was about average. That temperature of Erie helped fuel the snowbands, there's no question about that. But the Arctic coming across the lake was way below average. No surprise since the Arctic is about average (i.e. cold) and has been cooling for years.
The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down.

Climate change has ruined my swimming pool. We get in now and it’s just too cold to stay in for any length of time. It’s just awful.
The propaganda effort does work to some extent.
I’ve seen internet comments from govt schooled youts proclaiming “they had to start naming winter storms because they are so much stronger than ever before”
Precisely, and it will without question someday in the future be under a glacier again. Last week would probably be a good indication of how that process might start.
And global warming is what is causing Lake Superior to freeze over.
Intelligence is irrelevant. Reason is futile.
Well, considering that just 10,000 years ago a mile thick glacier covered Buffalo, then climate change is real. There is geologic evidence in NY State of 3 interglacial periods and 2 glaciers. There were probably more, but the more current glaciers scoured out the evidence.
MDR!

It's not that. It's just that you are too stupid to understand them. That and you must agree to sign a statement that you understand them before you read them, and may only look at them through opaque glasses so as to not be able to assemble any syntax or numbers.
It's only a thing smart people and government policy wanks would understand.
Where are the Snowdens of yesteryear?

Flooding concerns as soon as the sun comes out. Yikes.
OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a ball of fire that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the suns planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?
Climate scientists are people who receive government grants to theorize that the earth is warming, and that it is a bad thing. A climate scientist must suppose that every climate event, hot or cold, is the fault of anthropogenic global-warming, or he will be scorned by his fellow grant recipients and ridiculed out of his job. In short, without anthropogenic global warming a climate scientist has nothing to do but read the Farmer’s Almanac.
