Global Warming Alert: Heavy Snow Forecast for Central Pennsylvania

You see where that says "20+"? That means possible inches of snow, my friends. In mid-October.
...UNUSUAL EARLY SEASON DAMAGING HEAVY WET SNOW POSSIBLE... THE COMBINATION OF A DEVELOPING STORM OFF TO THE SOUTH OF THE REGION...AND ABNORMALLY CHILLY AIR IN PLACE OVER THE NORTHEASTERN UNITED STATES COULD CREATE THE POTENTIAL FOR AN EARLY SEASON SNOWFALL FOR PARTS OF THE REGION LATER IN THE WEEK. A STORM SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO APPROACH FROM THE TENNESSEE RIVER VALLEY THURSDAY...BEFORE REDEVELOPING ALONG THE CAROLINA COAST LATER THURSDAY INTO FRIDAY. WITH COLD CANADIAN HIGH PRESSURE PERCHED UP JUST TOP THE NORTH OF THE LOCAL AREA...AND MOISTURE SPREADING IN FROM THE DEVELOPING STORM TO OUR SOUTH...THE POTENTIAL WILL BE FOR A HEAVY...WET...DAMAGING SNOW TO DEVELOP OVER PARTS OF CENTRAL PENNSYLVANIA. AT THIS TIME...THE AREA THAT LOOKS TO BE MOST VULNERABLE TO THE EARLY SEASON SNOW WILL BE FROM ABOUT INTERSTATE 80 SOUTH TO THE PENNSYLVANIA TURNPIKE...ESPECIALLY OVER THE HIGHER ELEVATIONS. WITH MOST TREES STILL HAVING ALL THEIR LEAVES...EVEN A FEW INCHES OF HEAVY WET SNOW WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE SERIOUS TREE DAMAGE...
Oh, but the science is settled and we must submit to our moral superiors who declare the debate about mythical man-made global warming is settled.

I had frost already this morning in North Jersey and here we're not expected to get above the 40s for the next several days. Up in the Catskills this past weekend it was around 30 degrees after dark.

Can someone please pipe in some global warming this way?
