Northern Hemisphere snow mass is one standard deviation above 1982-2012 average.
Anecdotal data points are meaningless in systems as complex and dynamic as weather.

Exactly. "global warming isn't real because it's still snowing" gets ridiculed (as it rightly should), but I find it appalling that "global warming is real because it snowed really late where I lived" gets a free pass.
Further, the aggregate for all of North America hardly excludes the possibility of regional snow drought.
The line where snow sticks around for the whole season has been steadily moving north.
It's completely possible that the Northern Hemisphere also has more rainfall then ever before, would that mean that lake Mead isn't drying up right now?
I find it a bit hard that you're really posted that information in good faith given it would require an almost willful misunderstanding of what the parent is saying and how hemisphere wide observations completely miss essential regional variation in weather patterns.
