Toeing the line, but interesting research that provides a concrete example of what to expect when there is more snow: From An ecosystem-wide reproductive failure with more snow in the Arctic the abstract reads:
On the page of the article at DMI.dk they present a diagramme that shows the deviation from the average snow fall since 1981, what is actually noticeable is that two years 1987 and 2018 are more off on the high snow season side, than any years with poor snow seasons. There is to little data to conclude anything, but that might be a pattern one could look into.
On DMI.dk where I found the link to the article in English, there are some comments for the public:2018: Arctic researchers have just witnessed another extreme summer—but in a new sense of the word. Although public interest has long been focused on general warming trends and trends towards a lower sea ice cover in the Arctic Ocean, this summer saw the realization of another predicted trend: that of increasing precipitation during the winter months and of increased year-to-year variability. In a well-studied ecosystem in Northeast Greenland, this resulted in the most complete reproductive failure encountered in the terrestrial ecosystem during more than two decades of monitoring: only a few animals and plants were able to reproduce because of abundant and late melting snow. These observations, we suggest, should open our eyes to potentially drastic consequences of predicted changes in both the mean and the variability of arctic climate.
From the above it is now more easy to move to the position that not only was the part of the new finding with the predictions of colder weather and more snow right, the former expectation that the "fundamentally rising global temperature will ’overtake’ the records related to cold." was fundamentally wrong.Multiple records in all directions.
Martin Olesen points out the most striking aspect of the investigation into the massive snowfall.:
”The result is in line with the expected effects of climate change. We have anticipated that one of the consequences of global warming is more extreme weather, with greater fluctuations and thus more ’record-weather’. And the records are expected to run out in every direction – in the fields of heat, drought and storms, but also in the cold and high snow levels.
We assume that the snowfall of this size in the Arctic will happen again, but it is too early to say how often it will happen.”
At some point, however, it is to be expected that the fundamentally rising global temperature will ’overtake’ the records related to cold.
