you didn't mention the previous 15 years
where the lake didn't freeze over due to warmer temperatures. That's the point. What isn't said is that the lake froze over up until 15 years ago when for 15 years in a row it didn't, most likely due to Global Warming.
I would think one reason is that the snow cover reflected the sun's heat back into the atmosphere and helped the lake become cool enough to freeze over. This is like farther north where less snow cover means less reflecting of the sun's heat, thus warmer land surface temperatures, a repeating process that spirals toward even warmer conditions there.
There -- I think I have successfully answered your faulty allegation.
Still, we are talking about the matter of INCREASED PRECIPITATION. For the past two years at least, parts of the country have been receiving more rain than normal throughout the year (October was St. Louis' wettest on record) due to GLOBAL WARMING. Warmer temperatures over the ocean puts more moisture into the atmosphere. This in turn falls on the land masses. The snow is precipitation. The only difference is the temperature.
You aren't talking about the whole picture here.
NASA and NOAA can give anyone who accesses their web sites the whole picture -- and it is that the earth is indeed warming.
