Data from NOAA through Sealevel indicates from 1889 through 1908 carbon dioxide rose from 295 - 300 parts per million (Sealevel, 2022). As this occurred data from NOAA indicated that snow trends along lake effect snow areas trended upwards slightly. However, in Kansas City where no lake effect snow occurs, the snowfall trends had a direction of a downward trend (NOAA. NWS., 2022). This trend will have to be looked at in a broader sense of time to know if this prediction is accurate. Just twenty years is not enough time to make any kind of climatology indication that this study would be accurate. Over the next few days to months will be working toward adding more data to see if this is accurate. However, for now, it does bring an interesting hypothesis that the more parts per million added to the atmosphere could also increase lake effect snows through local weather patterns. My university degree pertains to liberal arts and some meteorology. However, the current degree I am working toward is a senior in Climate Change Science at Unity College.
