Yes, it's annoying. In the UK we get months like December 2015 that were more than 5C warmer than average, but can we get the same in summer? Not a chance.
Seems like global warming only applies to non-summer months in the UK. June-Aug have barely warmed at all over the past 30 years. We can get months like April 2011 and March 2012 where high pressure stays over us for weeks, with lots of sunshine and hardly any rain, but to get the same in summer seems almost impossible these days.

You guys seem to be getting more oceanic in recent years.
Northeast US seems to be becoming more and more continental, with colder and snowier winters, as well as hotter summers. At least that has been the general trend since 2010. We had the mildest winter since 2012 and we still had above average snowfall

Are you going to school down there now or something? Would have thought you would have been back stateside by now...

Snowfall is just a matter of moisture, and isn't entirely an indicator of coldness.

I guess, altho snowfall can be very problematic in late winter and spring since it completely ****s up the weather. If you get significant snowfall in April it's gonna keep you temperatures down for weeks, even with a favorable pattern and strong Sun. It happened a lot the past few years, in 2015 in March and this year in mis-April. We had good pattern and everything in the middle of the month but the cold soil made us below average for a solid week even after the snowfall melted
I actually dont mind snowfall in December/January, I only really get tired of it in February and after. I really wish our cold peaked at the end of December, like it does in Southern Cone climates
No, it would still be a matter of dynamics/set up. It can snow even at temps near 50F.
How often does snow above about 39 F even happen?
And yes, the set up for a cold, snowy day in a place like Birmingham, AL would be one of both cold and moisture. In a climate like Winnipeg this wouldn't apply.
