The title link is to a NY Times blog article by Andrew Revkin. In it he cites work by Judah Cohen, a weather analyst who has been studying the relationship between Oct snow cover in Siberia with winter severity in the NE US and Europe.
It is all rather complicated, but in Cohen's defense, he makes predictions based on his theory. He has also looked at past weather patterns versus Siberian snow cover and states his theory offers a better explanation for what has happened versus the theories of others. Also see Cohen's comments to Revkins post.
There are a lot of links in Revkin's post, but be sure you watch the short video on how to differentiate weather from climate.
