All the extra evaporation creates many more clouds that hold precipitation. The weather patterns are influenced by the Jet Stream, and this moves about creating "arctic blasts" and "tropical thaws". We in Maine went from -17 degrees on early Sat. the 4th of Jan. to +50 degrees about 54 hrs. later today, the 6th. I've lived in Maine for 39 years and this is not normal nor experienced before. Our "bounds" are more spread out and rapidly changing. So, to call a cold snap a refutation of Global Climate Change is embarrassing, and totally out of sync with science. Even though Big Oil/Coal has set up phony experiments, these are not real science that is peer reviewed. Please don't be fooled again.
