Global warming/climate change statistics are the result of averaging temperatures over an entire year. Yes, some winters may be colder than others but over a period of years, decades and centuries the earth's temperatures have been steadily rising. To deny scientific facts and to do nothing to combat the warming trend shows total disregard and selfishness for the generations to follow.

If the heavy snowstorms continue throughout the season, this should help cool the water temperature. Perhaps, not significantly, but any reduction is better than none.
