Since 1869 there have been only six snowstorms that dumped over 20 inches of snow in Central Park. Four of the six snowstorms have all occurred in the last 14 years. And three of the snowstorms have occurred in the last 4 years. And two of the snowstorms occurred in 2010.
What to make of the snowstorm data? It's probably just random weather fluctuations but it could signal the start of the next ice age or the next mini ice age. It certainly is troubling data for proponents of global warming.
