   All the news about snow does not seem to align with this graph:

   Is there an explanation for that?

      Check whether the graph applies to land, sea, or both land and sea.

      Example: Finnish Metrological Institute’s Northern Hemisphere snow mass graph excludes mountains.

   I wonder if the coming years will have general N Hemisphere temperature conditions falling to Dalton Minimum levels…

   It is so cold in many areas, maybe the Dalton level is already reached this winter.
