54. Y'know, I'm not a scientist,

let alone a climatologist, but for over 25 years I have regarded heavy snows where I am - Colorado Springs - as a sign of global warming, not an argument against it.

I mean, snows like the one in '94 that dropped snow right up to the top of my windows - and blocked the door. Seriously, where do they think that snow is coming from? Certainly not from around here! We are basically high desert, only a little mitigated by landscaping. No, that's got to be Arctic snow, displaced by the warming of the planet.

That's not exactly scientific, and it certainly doesn't take into consideration polar vortices and Los Niños (and Las Niñas), and other known phenomena ... but it's close enough.
