I’m not defensive at all. I’m just responding to you. But actually I do have data to back up what I said. I linked to it.
Just think about this for a second. If it was actually warmer and melting snow faster you would also expect more rain events and thus less snowfall. That’s not what we see. For the record climate change is real, but many of the narratives are not. Many are purely anecdotal- a mirage.

Not sure that /u/Generic_Commenter-X was actually trying to start an argument (neither am I disputing your point about snowfall), and I actually do agree (just in my personal experience) with their point about the actual snow base throughout the winter. To your point, do you have any data that supports temperature correlating directly to snowfall? There are lots of high pressure, super cold times when we get no snow. Also a lot of "warmer" days when we get dumped on with heavy, wet snow. I just find it interesting that you spin up your own narrative in the same breath that you're trying to debunk others' narratives.

Does temperature directly correlate to snowfall lol? Yes it has to be below 32F. No data needed

Objectively false... it can snow when it's above 32 degrees. Clearly you're just here to appear correct at everyone else's expense. What a dick.

I’m a dick for providing data that runs counter to your incorrect beliefs? Yes it’s possible to see snowflakes above freezing, but do you see a lot of accumulating snowfall above 32 that sticks around? You should tell the ski industry they would be thrilled to build a ski hill there. Still waiting on your data

What are my incorrect beliefs again? Just trying to figure out what you're arguing against. Now you're talking about snowfall vs snowfall that "sticks around"... seems like that was the whole point we were trying to make in the first place.

If the temperature is greater than 32 it rains and if it’s less than 32 it snows. So if it’s warm enough to melt the snow on the ground, any precipitation would fall as rain not snow. You would see more rain and less snow if their lower snowpack argument was true. The data that I provided as well as the link from u/headpen5724 shows increasing snowfall.
