Warming climate leads to changing Wisconsin winters, but drawing links to individual storms challenging, UW professor says

The storm dropped as much as two to four feet of snow in parts of Minnesota and South Dakota and tornadoes in areas of the country that usually see them more in late winter, but Jonathan Martin, a professor of atmospheric and oceanic science at UW-Madison, said it’s not as simple as drawing a direct line between this week’s winter storm and a warming climate.
