listen here, you two-bit ignoramus, I'm about to make change.

YES, warming can shave a few days off the ends of the snow season. but in the MIDDLE of winter in temperate areas, 3 degrees of warming means that the daytime high is (for example) 25 F instead of 22 F. That little bit of warming isn't going to stop snow from falling and accumulating!
but that same warming in the Gulf of Mexico is causing significantly increased evaporation, sending more moisture northwards. and when that moisture gets to places with freezing temperatures, it turns into snow.

so to summarize, the snow season might be a few days shorter, but it's more intense. and the damage caused by heavy snowfall doesn't happen in late fall and early spring! it's a midwinter phenomenon, and that's exactly when warming will be intensifying snowfall.

don't believe me? this effect has already been recorded on a geographically smaller scale (lake effect snow).

see, my education allows me to go beyond what's immediately intuitive. you associate snow with cold, and so it's inconceivable to your tiny little mind that warming could possibly cause more snow. amazingly enough, just because something's counterintuitive doesn't mean it's not true.

just in case anyone thinks the OP is serious or something, I encourage you to skim """"""""""Dr."""""""""" Kent Hovind's """"""""""dissertation"""""""""". It's literally not even at high school level in terms of its content. It's not even at middle school level in terms of spelling, grammar, mechanics, and style.
