Implications of Arctic sea ice loss to "very cold winters" in US and my visit to Denver-Boulder next week

My visit to Denver-Boulder next week: I will be in Denver-Boulder next week and I want to meet with climate scientists and/or media people about being muzzled, intimidated and retaliated against by DOC, NOAA headquarters and NOAA National Weather Service headquarters.

Implications of Arctic sea ice loss to "very cold winters" in US:
It seems like a "no brainer" to me that the decline in Arctic sea ice cover is in large part related to the decline in very cold winters - in recent decades - within the northern U.S.

I consider "very cold winters" to be like cold winters which occurred about 2 - 3 times per decade from the 1820s through the 1970s.

Temperature records at Minneapolis, Minnesota from 1820s to current - and records at other U.S. climate stations in Minnesota, Wisconsin, North and South Dakota, Montana, Wyoming, and Colorado - all show sharp declines in "very cold winters" which is indicated by sharp increases in annual average mean and average daily min temperatures - especially since the late 1970s, and as indicated by sharp declines in annual and decade frequency of days with severe cold temperatures - especially since the late 1970s.

There has not been a "very cold winter" in the northern U.S. since 1996 at any of the US climate stations having long term temperature records. Stations with long term temperature records are considered to be those which began in the 1890s or early 1900s and have continued with good quality data through current. A reference to "Temperature at US climate stations in the U.S." is shown below.
