The high tomorrow here will be -2, and maybe setting a record low. Wonder if that is caused by moisture in the air?

<An increase in warmth would certainly suggest an increase in clouds, which would increase the albedo of the planet, which would have the end result of regulating how much the planet can warm.>

That is exactly the argument used by the Venusians, and look what happened to them.

I used Antarctica only as an example that snow is not proportionally related directly to cold, and that "real cold" leads to less and not more snow. It will take a while for global warming to expose the underlying rock in Antarctica because the mean ice thickness is about 1 mile. With 70% of the world's fresh water frozen as Antarctic ice, all of Florida will be underwater before you see lots of Antarctic rock.
