        If the year’s coldest temp was 1°C colder than last year and the year’s highest temp was 2°C hotter than last year, then even though the cold was colder, the overall temperature is still going up. The average and the extremes are very different things.

          But I’m not the one needing to be convinced, the snow argument was touted by Trump himself as well as echoed in other conservative spaces.
