If your link means we should be worrying about the planet warming.

Then my link means we should be worrying about the planet cooling...

Time will tell...

These cold snaps are part of the overall warming of the planet - the melting Arctic ice is leading to a weakened jet stream, and this in turn is why we are seeing cold temps in some areas - cold Arctic air is "escaping" from the Arctic. And the Arctic ice continues to diminish more and more quickly.

Your data point doesn't challenge what we know about the climate.
