According to current computer models, snow cover should have decreased every year since the mid-20th century. The models make this claim because of global warming. They also predict that this trend will continue and even accelerate. They suggest that many countries will soon be snow-free. But, what really happened to the snow cover?
In this video, we compare the claims of computer models with observable historical records. We found the patterns were wrong in all four seasons.
