| h/t Puppyblender Last week, snow covered more than half of the continental United States, the highest this measure has reached by this date in a decade, according to government scientists. As of Dec. 15, snow covered 53 percent of the Lower 48, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) reported. ThatÂ’s a significantly higher portion than in recent years. In 2006, for example, snow covered just 12 percent of those states on the same date, according to Climate Central, a climate news Web site. |

| #3 Keep an eye on Antarctic sea ice. It's the place where there are almost no sub-global human effects, and it's been setting record after record this year. We know from the Younger Dryas, 12K years ago, that the Earth's climate can cool very rapidly over as little as 5 to 10 years. |
