Funny. In Idaho right now its freezing and has snowed about 4 ft in the last month. Most snow Ive ever seen here and seems like its been abnormally cold all winter long. It seems like there is a jet stream thats moving the cold arctic air more south. Im sure it will revert back to normal over the next couple of years and the ice will build back up. Also, the more ice that melts from glaciers and ice caps in Antartica, the colder it makes arctic ocean waters thus creating more sea ice during winter months.

You truly are proud of your ignorance aren't you? That last sentence is just ... not how anything works.

Yes, actually it is. Go research it.

Here in NJ we’ve gotten 2 snow days including today. When I was eight, it snowed in October. This is the LEAST snow I have ever seen in my life.

Cold water subducts and travels away as it sink below the warmer water on the surface that then cools then subducts as well driving the system south at the north pole and north on the south pole. It is called the ocean conveyor belt and is driven by temp and salinity. It is what keeps the gulf streams moving and mixes the oceans. Warm water moves to the poles cold water moves to the tropics.
