More snow, rain and global warming

There have been many letters deriding the theory of global warming. These writers think that the effects of global warming would be mainly a rise in temperature. Yet, some people complain that we have had more snow and rain than ever before.

My opinion is that any unusual increase in temperature, even small, allows more moisture to be retained in the atmosphere, especially over the oceans or lakes. Any cooling of this moisture-laden air will surely result in greater deposits of snow or rain, just like we're observing. This would be an effect of global warming, if such is happening.
