Actually this has been one of the warmest years on record globally.

Extreme snow does not imply extreme cold. The peak conditions for massive snowfall are actually a drop from just above to just below freezing, since the warmer air is the more water vapor it can contain. In my state, we had three terrible blizzards last winter although the average temperature was above average for the winter as a whole.
