This is actually what was predicted to happen with global warming, worse winter activity.

Because global warming is more net energy into the atmosphere, which causes more dramatic weather.

Because the Great Lakes aren't frozen yet, and because it's less cold the extra moisture can move further before falling out of the atmosphere as snow.

The immediate cause of the topsy-turvy weather is clear enough. A pattern of atmospheric circulation that tends to keep frigid air penned in the Arctic has weakened during the past two winters, allowing big tongues of cold air to descend far to the south, while masses of warmer air have moved north.
