Autumn snow extent in Eurasia is the greatest recorded since the start of the modern satellite era in 1979, and has increased by 20%.

Climate experts tell us that declining snow cover over the last 30 years is making global warming even worse
The decreases in Earth's snow and ice cover over the past 30 years have exacerbated global warming more than models predict they should have, on average, new research from the University of Michigan shows.
Grand Minimum cooling crept slowly down and then accelerated. This snow fall record could be a sign of a slow creep toward a cooler world.
Russ,
When do single events become trends. Seems like this kind of stuff has been going on for a long time now.
I have read that it takes 15 years to be come climate, then others claim it takes 30 years. If you look at the historical recored, it can take a 100 years to move from a warming trend to a cooling trend. Check out the graphic here: http://www.longrangeweather.com/global_temperatures.htm
