No way! If you can't see the trends here I don't think you are experienced enough for this job. Let's go talk to Dr. Snow to see if we can get you some remedial training.
Here's what you missed:
- That while there is a large year-to-year variability, the average area coverage of snowfall prior to 1970 was about 37.5x10^6 square kilometers with minor variability.
- That while there is a large year-to-year variability, the 15 year average between 1990-2005 is lower than previous years.
- That this figure provides information on the area covered by snow, there is no information about the amount of snowfall that fell.
- 1990 had the lowest snow cover extent for the Northern Hemisphere, not the lowest depth.
