December northern hemisphere snow cover. Chart source:Rutgers University
Earlier today a reader (I think Juraj) left a comment with a link to a snow cover chart that disappeared on me. Sorry about the accidental deletion, but I’ve managed to find the chart using Google. According to Rutgers University here, snow cover over the northern hemisphere reached record December levels last month, thus dumping cold water on the notion that wintertime snows are getting rarer.

It seems that although warming of the atmosphere continued until the late 90s the amount of snow has since been recovering.
And we all know that the sun became less active from the late 90s don't we ?
And that since 2000 the jet stream tracks have been more meridional ?
Despite increasing human CO2 emissions which therefore may well be irrelevant ?
Happy New Year.
