Northern Hemisphere this time. Snow Water Equivalent.
March 2000: According to Dr David Viner, a senior research scientist at the climatic research unit (CRU) of the University of East Anglia,within a few years winter snowfall will become “a very rare and exciting event”.
“Children just aren’t going to know what snow is,” he said.
Snow seems to be ignoring David Viner.
I usually post Northern Hemisphere. But here is North America Snow Water Equivalent.

Northern Hemisphere Snow Water Equivalent above normal all year.
No shortage of snow in North America

“When scientists looked at Antarctic snowfall over the past 200 years they found a “significant” increase, up to 10%.
In the decade 2001-2010, some 272 billion tons more snow fell on Antarctica per year compared with the decade 1801-1810.
This extra amount of snow is equivalent to twice the water volume of the Dead Sea, on a per year basis.”
These graphs are NH only.
Its a pity Rutgers graphing script can’t spell Hemisphere.
But …
Fall up 1,500,000 sq km
Winter up 900,000 sq km
Spring down 3,000,000

Northern Hemisphere Snow Water Equivalent above normal all year … except for the day all the snow melted (and then came back).
I was quite sure NASA knew exactly what was going to happen. Don’t they model the climate? Don’t they use those models to ask for big grants. Now they are saying that literally anything could happen. Then what use are they?
‘If past events help predict future ones, then we have probably reached the peak of the 2015–2016 El Niño,’ the space agency said.
‘Warmer-than-average waters in the eastern tropical Pacific Ocean should start to cool off and shift westward.
‘By summer, the tropical Pacific might be back in a neutral state or La Niña cooling could kick in, as it did after major El Niños of the past.
‘But will the ocean respond in 2016 the way it did in 1998 and 1983? Given that the planet is hotter than at any time in the past 135 years, there are no guarantees.’
