Local weather doesn't equal global climate. Just because certain areas have had record lows doesn't mean the global temperature is lowering. In the same way, just because certain areas have record highs (like Washington and Alaska) doesn't necessarily mean the global temperature is rising.

Here in Baltimore we beat a record, 72.3 inches so far and it was a pain to try and dig out of. Still have ridiculous roads and haven't left my house since last Friday. Probably won't be leaving in the next couple days either.
