It was approximately a month ago that *The BFD* [featured](https://thebfd.co.nz/2020/01/apparently-the-north-never-got-the-memo/?ref=goodoil.news) this graph, so it is time to check in again on **Dr David Viner’s** prediction that children soon won’t know what snow is. Dr Viner predicted in 2000 that “*within a few years winter snowfall will become a rare and exciting event*.”

We are now 20 years beyond then, and although a “few years” was not strictly quantified in the good doctor’s prediction I submit that two decades is a tad longer than ‘within a few’.

So how is the [snow mass graph](https://globalcryospherewatch.org/state%5Fof%5Fcryo/snow/fmi%5Fswe%5Ftracker.jpg?ref=goodoil.news) getting on?

The BFD.

Eyeballing that graph suggests that this year is 15% up on the 1982 -2012 average. Time for David to update his prediction?

“Ah, but!” I hear the Doomers say, “What happens when it all melts? Sea level rise, that’s what! – We Doomers have covered all the bases with our ‘Climate Change’ scenarios.”
