Snow in April?


Can more snow be cause by global warming? One would think that with the warmer earth, there would be less snow. However, according to Dr. Kevin Trenberth of the National Center for Atmospheric Research, the heat trapping gasses in the atmosphere cause 70% more water vapor than there was in the 1920's. Since the earths weather system is very delicate, a small amount of change in the water content can cause severe weather changes on earth. Have you noticed more severe weather in the last decade? Therefore, global warming can cause more snow.

Sincerely,
