Readers may recall our story from Dec 15th, 2013: Over half the USA covered in snow, the most in 11 years
Now, it’s even more. See the map and the 3D image:
February 7, 2014
| Area Covered By Snow: | 67.4% |
| Area Covered Last Month: | 48.1% |
The map is from NOAA’s National Operational Hydrologic Remote Sensing Center
The 3D image is from this KMZ file and Google Earth:

UPDATE: Values of snow cover for this date show this is the highest in a decade.

Thanks for that. The list however focuses on what ‘climate scientists’, scientific organisations such as the IPCC said or published. There are just a couple from non climate scientists who should know better such as a botanist. If we included what activists, NGOs etc. have said then Warmists can easily dismiss it.
I don’t trust this. I looks more like places where it has snowed. The snow blip for SE VA and NE NC have been gone for almost a week. More BRAVO SIERRA from the [snip]
The NYT ran a story today that is not even consistent with the IPCC AR5 WG1 Report. They have become a tabloid.
We got another “dusting” of global warming last night here in Missouri. By dusting I mean another few inches of global warming. Global warming sucks!
[snip waaayyy waaayyy off topic – mod]
To all the global warming camps. This is not global warming as it is not just the earth warming but our whole solar system is warming not just the earth. So how is my tractor melting ice caps on Mars? Or Pluto for that matter. NASA has the information pertaining to solar system is warming not just the earth.
In the time of the Roman empire the earth was even warmer than it is today.
Propaganda to get you global warming parrots to pay carbon taxes.
Fact of the matter you will never have petroleum taken off the market and you will never be able to bring about change because it would destroy the continuity of the governments and mega corporations wealth.
Try to build anything off grid or live off grid and your local code enforcers will be there to fine you or CPS will take your children.
We shall.always be.slaves to the grid and the ruling class. Energy independence is the establishments doom. Slaves all.of you!
So Drudge juxtaposes this article with one from the NYT editorial page descrying the decreased skiing opportunities because of global warming. He demands we do something to reduce our CO2 emmisions. Has anyone ever explained to that genius how much energy it takes to fly thousands of people to Denver, drive them, plus all the locals, an extra 3/4 mile higher, and them lift them up an additional 2500 feet into the sky? Not to mention all the food, water, snow making, etc. Geez, every sidewalk was heated where we stayed last time.
These guys a certifiable.
GLOBAL (ALL over the world) WARMING makes the climate (THE WEATHER in an area) get colder!
Everyone knows WARMING temperatures make it get colder!
WHY? Because Obama said so!
“The science is settled”
What HASN’T Obama lied about?
Wasn’t their A documentary about this were Dennis Quad rescues everyone after all the Ice causes Guam to sink?
Have democrat stupes and fools ever bothered to look up the word GLOBAL or CLIMATE in the dictionary?
Climate – THE WEATHER prevailing in an area…..
Judging from all of the ridiculous lies Democrats are telling, the answer is a resounding NO!
GLOBAL Warming means it is getting warmer ALL OVER THE GLOBE…..since CO2 levels have risen past 400 ppm, please explain WHY the polar icecaps BOTH grew in 2013?
DEMOCRATS are LIARS!
But the authors passionate pleas have moved my globally warmed heart. I am going to form a new foundation. Jet Skiers and wake boarders against Global Warming.
http://www.independent.co.uk/environment/snowfalls-are-now-just-a-thing-of-the-past-724017.html
Manmade GLOBAL WARMING LIARS said snowfalls would soon disappear, BACK IN 2000!
IF Democrats and Socialists could not lie, they would be silent!
The ObowelMovement just said that the internal combustion engine caused global warming on Mars and Saturn!
“settled science” say the stupid
Will RAISING TAXES by TRILLIONS on WORKING PEOPLE help end global warming on other planets?
Democrat cowards have no answers, only new lies…..
That’s what I love New York Times so much. They are always on top of things. Have you people read the article “The End of Snow?” published by PORTER FOX on FEB. 7, 2014?
Jesus, these people know how to write. Specially fantasy.
Have a good day!
That darned carbon dioxide has reversed its effect again! What to do….Need the whole Hockey team, not just a stick.
Come on over to san diego. No ice here
The local paper reports that the USDA idiot says our extreme storms dumping all that snow in the mountains is a result of climate extremes caused by current levels of CO2. How does he think we got snow pack up the arse decades ago when CO2 was lower? What village decided to become all idiots and send the whole town to Washington DC????? ARE WE LOSING OUR MINDS?????
We need a national constitutional level amendment to add “none of the above” to our voting choices. That way we can have a revolution without firing a single shot. Right now I think the best thing that could happen in the next election is to elect nobody and just shutter the place up.
And here I thought all the snow landed in my driveway….
Global Warming is a religion, Mr. Gore is the chief priest, and the collages are working on creating missionaries, and the government is forcing it’s religion on us.
Think I’m kidding.
When was the last time the weatherperson could tell you what the weather was going to be like a week from now and be a 100% right?
We just take them on faith … Right
Blast you lying LIBS! We were promised an end to winters by now. I’ve been driving nothing but SUV’s or LARGE pickup trucks since the mid nineties. All in an attempt to end these gawd awful winters. We were deceived! I spent thousands of extra dollars in gasoline and home heating bills. I was lead to believe it would be for the greater good! I lit tire fires, sprayed aerosol cans, wasted water, and refused to car pool because you treacherous “global warming” preachers assured us it would work! Now I see it was all for nothing. Despite our best efforts, winters are getting worse, summers are staying the same, and spring and fall are still just beautiful. Please cancel my subscription to “The sky is falling monthly”.
Janice I fail to understand your continued use of stereotyped discourse of the female gender. It is anecdotal nonsense that continues unfounded notions undergirding gender-based discriminatory thought and action. I wish you would stop and think before you add these not cute vignettes of yours. You are better than what you write sometimes.
I brought attention to the significance of jet stream shifts in 2008:
“If jet streams, on average, are further south then the high pressure systems to the north of them predominate and the globe is cooling. If, on average, they are further north then high pressure to the south of them predominates and the globe is warming.”

Here in Northern Illinois Global Warming occurs only part of the year…about every May through early October it seems to be warmer than say November through April. I’m no scientist but this seems to be a reoccurring event.
Bbbbut in 2000 Global warmist declared snow would be extinct by at least 2005! http://uk.answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=A0SO80LNZPZSfjsAsLHBGOd_;_ylu=X3oDMTE0anVja2cyBHNlYwNzcgRwb3MDNARjb2xvA2dxMQR2dGlkA1RBVVMwMjhfMQ–?qid=20140107130104AAUYOwM
Stephen, the underlying atmospheric parameters of the Arctic Oscillation has been known for quite some time (including the weather pattern shifts and jet stream meandering) and is part of every scientific research climate site I am aware of. However, your mechanism for the cause of a shifting jet stream is wholly unsubstantiated. That you continue to link to it as if is was demonstrates a willingness to spout unsubstantiated theories CO2 proponents possess. So do your readers a favor and put in parenthesis prior to your link that your theory is unsubstantiated.
