Updates

February 12, 2018: this is pretty hilarious. Now, this headline from Climate Depot: record snowfall amounts pile up around the globe. Examples:
  • Chicago ties record with nine (9) consecutive days of snowfall
  • record snowfall in Windsor, Ontario; a record 18.4 cm fell on Windsor on Friday
  • snow-covered beaches in Barcelona, Spain -- yes, that Barcelona
  • Michigan city's snowfall totals climbing toward record highs
  • new snowfall record for Calgary, Alberta, Canada
  • Arctic dips to 76F below zero; some of the coldest temperatures that people have ever experienced
  • record snowfall in British Columbia
  • record Montana snowfall for the season
  • record snowfall in Japan kills seven
  • first snowfall ever in parts of Morocco
  • Chicago -- 20 inches of snow by Saturday night possible
  • northern France hit by heavy snow
  • nearly a thousand fishing boats trapped in ice in NE China


February 7, 2018: to all those snowfall records, we can now add Erie, Pennsylvania.

To all those reports of cold weather overseas, we can now add the US. Over at IceAgeNow: Great Lakes ice reaches "average high" one month early. But you ask, is it really that much? Great question. Yes, the amount of lake ice is almost 4x the amount of ice as on this date last year, the warmest year in recorded history (except for all "those other" years). Percent coverage, on this date:
  • 2016: 7%
  • 2017: 11%
  • 2018: 43%
A trend?
