Another single year observation attributed to climate.

"2019 was the second-warmest year on record globally, according to the US National Oceans and Air Administration" The link between climate change and problems with ice wine production in Germany by lack of ice seems pretty direct.

  It was the first time ever that the ice wine harvest failed. This isnt a trend.

Meanwhile, in Wyoming: "This Winter Has Been One Of The Snowiest On Record For Wyoming, And It’s Not Over Yet" https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/wyoming/snow-storms-in-wyoming-2020-wy/ https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/wyoming/snow-storms-in-wyomi...

  more snow doesn't mean it is colder

    No way to win an argument with religious fanatics, there's always an "answer" to why the predictions haven't come true.

    But more cold does frequently mean less snow. After a certain point the air is just to cold to hold any humidity.

  Things are shifting around. Simple way to imagine it: take the first interactive graph at https://www.intmath.com/trigonometric-graphs/2-graphs-sine-cosine-period.php https://www.intmath.com/trigonometric-graphs/2-graphs-sine-c.... Imagine x=2π is Wyoming, x=3π is Berlin, y depicts average winter temperature. Expected situation is b=2.5; current situation is b=2.75. This is of course a silly example, but illustrates the idea of what happens when you push around parameters of a periodic function. Weather is spatially periodic.

At some point one may look at all these single year observations in aggregate, and realize a certain trend...

  This was the first time ever that the ice wine harvest failed. How is that "all these single year observations"? Did you "single year observe", when the arctic ice fields expanded?

Another single year after year after year of record breaking weather. You might call it a "trend".
