<p>By 2050, Sierra Nevada winter snowpack may have decreased by as much as 70 percent from average levels of today; in the Rockies, the elevation of full winter snow cover may increase from 7,300 feet today to 10,300 feet by the year 2100; in Aspen, the ski season could retreat at both ends by a total of almost two months; and<strong> throughout the Western United States, average snow depths could decline by anywhere between 25 and—yep—100 percent.</strong></p>
<p><strong>These, of course, are just visions of wintertime future produced by climatologists and their computers</strong></p>

<p>Had these geniuses bothered to look at actual data, they would know that winter snow extent is increasing</p>

<p>One might also remember that Texas had their snowiest winter on record last year. as did Alaska and much of Europe. Being a successful climate scientist requires that you don&#8217;t understand the limitations of computer hardware or software. A computer model is not an excuse for being a moron.</p>
