Big Snow Year for Antarctica
2023-01-30
from the NSIDC - a US Govt sponsored org
Snowfall over Antarctica has been significantly above average over these last weeks, continuing a trend that began in November 2021. Several recent hydrological years (March 1 to February 28) for Antarctica have had up to 200 billion tons more snow than average, but the 2022 to 2023 year has reached nearly 300 billion tons as of January 10, 2023.
---------
this is for the continent itself, not for the sea ice around the continent - thus the 300B ton of snow ends up being about 300B ton mass build up of ice since the ice doesn't melt much until it gets to the ocean

#3  If the government was being serious and truthful about "global warming" they would periodically release satellite photos of both polar ice caps with comparisons for previous years. The fact that they don't says it all.

😇 Sorry, this can't be happening. A record Snow fall for the South Pole? We have it on good authority, seriously researched and verified scientific fact, that we are or soon will be under 15 feet of water from the all the Polar ICE that melted... 1980, 1990, 2000, 2010, 2015, 2020... ok soon.😇

Or have we been lied to by elected officials seeking $$ Billions while steering our lifestyles, creating new Taxes and mandating Environmental purchases again. Which they just happen to a vested interest in?
