The snow just won't let up (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/news/extreme-weather/).
Unseasonably cold weather throughout the central U.S. (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/03/may-snow-storm-upper-midwest_n_3204487.html?utm_hp_ref=green) dropped more than a foot of snow and broke May records in parts of Wisconsin, Iowa and Minnesota earlier this week -- and one tech-savvy YouTube user caught it all on camera.
The phenomenal time-lapse video shows more than 15 inches of snow falling on Owatonna, Minn. overnight from May 1 to 2. YouTube user Kyle Schanus (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UHPYa2eOXCI) wrote in the description that at its peak, the storm was dumping about 2.5 inches an hour.
2012 was the ninth-hottest year on record (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/02/un-says-2012-was-9th-hottest-year_n_3200272.html?utm_hp_ref=climate-change), but experts have said an increase in extreme weather swings could be very real signs of climate change (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/04/27/extreme-weather-swings_n_3165594.html?utm_hp_ref=climate-change). Scientists have also warned that blizzards could be increasing in severity (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/08/climate-change-blizzard-global-warming_n_2649587.html) and happen more frequently due to climate change (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/02/18/climate-change-blizzards-snow_n_2711387.html).
