The Arctic is melting. It has been melting for a very long time and still we wait for the flooding of coastal cities.
Change is what the climate does. It likes to prove the experts wrong. Note the date in the article.

Did someone flunk Grade 5 science?
There is more snow because there is more water vapor in the air due to global warming. Supposedly this is why Alaska is being buried this year. But cold air holds less water vapor than warm air. Isn't that why we use humidifiers in the winter? If the air was warmer there would be less snow.
Perhaps all that cold air is coming from the winds blowing over the Bering Sea whose surface temperatures are running as much as 5 degrees colder than normal.
Phoenix has 3 times the water vapor in its air as does Anchorage, Alaska. It is getting no precipitation . Anchorage is setting snowfall records.
We really do get confused when talking about what is going on in the Arctic.
