Climate Central says North American snow cover is on the decline, and it is due in part to winter precipitation falling as rain rather than snow. They say their data comes from Rutgers University.

Snow Cover on the Decline in North America | Climate Central

The actual data from Rutgers University shows 50 years of increasing winter snow extent. Climate Central is simply making things up – like they normally do.

NorAm Winter

Same story with Autumn snow cover. Last year had the highest extent on record.

NorAm Fall

The only season which has a downwards trend is spring, but six of the last nine springs have had above average extent.

NorAm Spring

The complete data set from Reuters shows that snow extent has been increasing since CO2 hit 350 PPM in 1988, and has been continuously above average for the past few years.

Snow Anomalies

The Rutgers data for North America shows no trend since 1973, the date which Climate Central used for their trend.
