Whoever thought that global warming would soon make snowy winters a thing of the past had no idea of what he was talking about. What a couple of degrees of warmer average global temperatures does or doesn't do is debatable. But removing snowy winters isn't one of them. I've seen -52 °F around here years ago. Last week I saw -34 °F. It would take over 70 °F of global warming to get rid of winters here.

It wouldn't have been a climatologist.
They will tell you that, as the Arctic warms more than most regions on Earth, that the polar vortex acts as if it's 'drunk' and 'stumbles around', as far as below the Equator, bringing the cold Arctic air mass with it.
