Back off, asshole. I began that by admitting that local weather is not "evidence" of anything and then I reported what MY weather had been this past winter. You can flash around all the maps you like, but I know what was happening here and although we had piddly amounts of snow often enough to keep the plow guys happy, there were no major storms and a good deal of the snow we did have was a mix of snow and rain, or in our neck of the woods was only rain while Bangor got snow.I'm on the far eastern tip of the coast. You're right about the weather inland. I forget about all of them. But it doesn't matter--it's all about averages. I've been living in this same spot for 15 years and it is the least snow here I can remember.There's no reduction of snow/ice as demonstrated by the disappearing glaciers?Well, as everyone knows, climate change is measured world wide, over a number of years, not how much snow they get in the mountains of the western US only.
So this is the typical climate change denier thread every time we have a cold day somewhere which has absolutely nothing to do with global warming or climate change.
You again ignore the 2001 IPCC report projections for snow and ice, where they stated that there would be a marked REDUCTION of snow and ice, and more rain/freezing rain into the future. It is now 18 years later with no sign of such reduction as projected.
That is the reality YOU can't deny.
I know local weather isn't real "evidence" of anything, but this past winter in Maine was just like that--rain/freezing rain. We never had a single storm with an accumulation of over 11 inches. And that was only one storm all winter. Very unusual.
Really?
Here is the official Snow cover source showing that over 90% of the state was average to well above average snow for the winter:
Here is the actual snow totals:
SOURCE for the charts
My Ex-wife lives near Fort Kent, she sent me photos of deep snow there, says a few days ago it is finally melting down.
You are waaay off!
Ok, but even your .000001% of the state doesn't show such deficit according to the map that is in front of you. Does this mean you concede that over 90% of the State had average to above average snowfall totals?
If you want to talk about the rest of the state, go for it.
