There are several factors that contribute to snow: only one of which is temperature... and, of course there are going to be periods of low temperature throughout the year that would allow for frozen precipitations. But without a storm, there's no snow. More snow also means there are more storm systems around than in previous years.

Yes, it is pretty much a scientific fact that temperatures have been slightly increasing, on average, for a brief time now. A brief time in the history of this World, at least. The disspute is not if it has been getting warmer but rather why has it been getting warmer and could it be part of a natural cycle.
20 years ago we were going to be seeing a new ice age soon. Now, we're all going to die in rising seas and be scortched by super temperatures. Excuse me if it all seems a bit dramatic.
