Blizzards and cold spells are weather, not climate. Climate is the pattern of weather over the years. So one blizzard, or one severe tornado is not evidence for or against climate change. Scientists look at the patterns over the years to see what changes there are.

Global warming may mean lots of different changes in climate. Some areas may be much drier, others may be much wetter. During the recent cold winter in the US, parts of Canada were much warmer than usual. This doesn't prove anything, until it becomes a pattern.
