December 2009: Second Snowiest on Record in the Northern Hemisphere

Anecdotal evidence yes but soon or later enough anecdotal evidence adds up to a trend.

According to the Rutgers University Global Snow Lab, last month had the second greatest December Northern Hemisphere snow cover since records were started in 1966. Snow extent was measured at 45.86 million sq. km, topped only by 1985 at 45.99 million sq. km. North America set a record December extent at 15.98 million sq. km, and the US also set a December record at 4.16 million sq. km.
