<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Arial">It's called "climate change" for a reason. So in the sense that more unpredictable anomalies are predicted, then I suppose the massive snowfall was predicted, though not as specifically as some would like.</p>

<p style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px 0.0px; font: 13.0px Arial">Afterall, with greater temperature differentials due to a warming equator comes increased storm intensity. Warmer temperatures also increase evaporation that will eventually precipitate. If it's cold enough, that precip will be as snow. That snow will be historically massive.</p>

They will fight changing the status quo with whatever weapons they can.</p>
