according to a meteorologist friend, this winter has been pretty typical of an El Nino winter, coupled with unusual pressure systems moving the usual Canadian weather south to the U.S. So while it was unusually cold and snowy in the States, Canada had mild weather and, as we saw in the Olympics, much less snow.
In other words, the weather in the U.S. isn't indicative of the global climate shifts. Europe, for example, has had the warmest 11 or 12 years in recorded history over the past 15 years
