Fourth Week of Advent: Snow and St. Martin of Tours

On a snowy night, soldier St. Martin of Tours stopped to help a beggar on the side of a road. He took off his military cloak, cut it in half with a sword, and handed it to the other man so that he could be warm. He didn't think how we would explain his torn uniform the next day. He thought instead about the needs of another person. 

I like to think about this saint whenever I think about snow, my favorite weather, and winter, my favorite season. But what if climate warming leads to less snow? I made a few graphics about snow and climate warming.
