A major storm system is set to bring “potentially catastrophic” winter weather across the southern U.S. this weekend, bringing snow, freezing rain and ice pellets to a substantial swath of the country.
It could be the “storm that defines the entire winter,” according to some meteorologists.
Overall, nearly 30 states could feel the effects from New Mexico all the way to New York starting Friday.
The National Weather Service warns that not only will this be a significant storm event but that there will be dangerously cold temperatures both before and after it passes — and in places that aren’t accustomed to such frigid conditions.
But there’s still “a lot of uncertainty,” David Nadler, a warning co-ordination meteorologist with the NWS in Peachtree City, Ga., said in a special briefing Wednesday afternoon.
The core of their message is “we need to address the reason these storms are becoming more dangerous” and you don’t think that’s relevant?
Please source this claim or kindly stay silent instead of spreading misinformation.
Besides living here and observing less snow over my own lifetime you too could have simply looked up this long known fact

If climate change was only about snowfall, sure. But from your own source:
https://www.climatecentral.org/climate-services/billion-dollar-disasters
Since 1980, half of all (CPI-adjusted) damage costs from “major weather events” (defined as weather events incurring more than 1 billion in CPI-adjusted damages) have occurred in the last 10 years. Many of which are winter storms.
So yeah, you may have seen trends in snowfall. But the instability of weather systems is increasing due to climate change, and this storm is at least partially a consequence of that.

Your observations are anecdotal so they don’t count. Also that’s not what that study says.
Kindly read it. It also identifies many other studies confirming less snow.
Do show me your research supporting a different conclusion
I did in fact read it. That’s how I know it doesn’t say what you think it says.
Sure some places are getting less snow but also some places are getting more snow.
Well as you clearly just wrote most places are getting less snow as the earth warms and there will be less freezing weather generally
So what are you trying to say?
The issue is severity on both sides, that’s literally the point. Both higher and lower temperatures are being experienced throwing things out of the balance that is has been for this period of the Earth.
