Why do so many people assume that "record snow storms" defy GW when warmer winters...

...produce more snow? I grew up in a Midwestern farm state where -- much like the Atlantic coastal states -- warmer winters generally meant more winter snow (and therefore a better winter wheat crop). So why are so many Global Warming opponents speaking as if record snow storms are some kind of proof AGAINST Global Warming? (Why do they assume that more precipitation indicates more cold??)

I even hear some people making jokes about the snow storms -- as if they somehow vindicate their arguments. Is this simply an ignorance of basic meteorology? (Of course, individual storms or an entire winter is hardly a conclusive argument about climate in any case. But I would at least think that people would not interpret what they perceive to be a trend in such an opposite manner to what common sense would expect.)
 
In places where it is usually bitterly cold (the upper midwest, for example) they get more snow during warmer winters. -- Note that the upper midwest is not having an excessively snowy winter. Altanta is, Mississippi is, South Carolina and Florida are, however.

Places like Alabama, they get snow when it's cold enough, not when it's warmer.

But the Alarmunists apparently deny this part of physics when it suits them.
