Heavy snows in British Columbia mean great skiing in early Auguest and September.

Meanwhile ice is growing at both poles, especially in Antarctica. But Greenland gained some ice too despite claims the glaciers are melting away.

Global Warming sure has a funny way of expressing itself.

At any rate we are seeing a change to a cooling and the Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation appears ready to flip from the current warming to a cooling phase. The AMO's cooling phase ended around 1990, after starting in the mid sixties.

That will mean more hurricanes and higher winds in general; the warming phase leads to less wind (and that explains why hurricane frequency and intensity have largely dropped off over the last few decades) but the cold phase means more wind, which means we will see a surge in Hurricanes, which means the climate alarmists will blame it on global warming. You can't win with those people.

At any rate it's good skiing up in B.C., a place that does not deserve it. I want to see skiing in Conservative places, not in leftist Canada. Jackson Hole would be nice.

Missouri has one or two sky resorts but it's generally too warm here and the snow has to be manufactured - and it winds up being ice very quickly. But if it cools a bit we could become prime ski territory. The Ozarks offer some great small mountains that would make fine sky resorts; it only takes some cooling and more snow. Granted that would probably hurt our wine industry, so maybe it's not a good idea after all.
