The ongoing present dynamic: Oceans are warming because sun is melting ice caps. As ice caps melt the water goes from frozen white (which reflects heat) to blue or green which absorbs heat rather than reflecting it back into space thereby radically increasing the temperatures of the surfaces of oceans in the polar regions. Higher water temperatures worldwide cause increased evaporation (heat on and in water increases evaporation). Clouds caused by this increased evaporation move towards shores of lands like the Western Pacific nations like Canada, U.S. and Mexico and Central and South America.
This increased evaporation and therefore clouds occlude the sun which decreases the temperatures of the lands. This then allows more and more snow to stick and once the first layer (1 to 3 inches of snow)sticks then snow gathers more and more snow. As you get to 1 foot or more snow the snow on the ground it begins to create it's own weather (especially if there is cloud cover with precipitation that can come down as rain or snow which then comes down more as snow. The snow on the ground tends to make the rain come down as snow. But, 1 inch of rain is 1 foot of snow approximately. You see the problem as this dynamic of evaporation increases in oceans now, especially from about December to April or May depending where you are in the U.S.
So, far the lands have reduced an average of 1 Centigrade. However, this might increase in temperature reduction of the land while the oceans warm which might eventually bring a short or a long ice age within the next 100 to 500 years. (Short being 1 to 5 to 10 years and long being thousands of years.)
So, humans might need to start to think about preparing for such a potential eventuality from about the Sierras and Cascades Eastward across our nation. I don't know how far down it would come by maybe Phoenix or Tucson, maybe Albuquerque or further south, Northern Texas or Oklahoma. It's hard to say how far south the ice and snow could stay year round across the nation and the same might be true for Europe, Russia, Mongolia and China too. And Siberia and northern Canada and Alaska.
I don't know enough about south of the equator weather characteristics to know what would or could happen there.

that ocean temperatures have warmed steadily without a pronounced
slowdown. “A fair bit of the apparent hiatus seems to be due to problems
in our ocean measurements, and not a real thing," Hausfather told The Christian Science Monitor over the phone.
