No. Snow in fact will get worse and more and more popular over this century. I found this information out:Rising temperatures in the world's atmosphere and oceans will lead to more intense storms as the century progresses, according to a new report from the National Center for Atmospheric Research.
Evaporation increases when the surface temperature of the ocean rises and warmer air can hold more moisture. When this soggier-than-normal air moves over land, it results in storms wetter and more intense than those experienced in the past.
The greatest changes will occur over land in the tropics, according to the study, which was released Thursday. Heavier rain or snow, however, will also fall in northwestern and northeastern North America, northern Europe, northern and eastern Asia, southwestern Australia, and parts of South America during the current century.

It might be possible for there to never be any snow anywhere in the world, but that would be a HIGHLY unlikely and very extreme case. Even the most extreme global warming predictions do not forecast the total absence of snow everywhere and at all seasons. There would still be some snow, in winter at the tops of high mountains for example.

Last night on The Discovery Channel or Learning Channel (one of them anyway), they had a program about the end of the world and global warming was the number one thing happening now.
They mentioned about the ice caps melting and raising the ocean levels 20-40 feet. It would change the landscape in many places including Florida, California, Gulf Coast. Don't remember it saying that snow would stop though.

Do you like smokers, I don't so I will use them as an example. Imagine you are in a big room(the earth) with lots of smokers and with only 1 window. One person starts to smoke not so bad, and then another and another. Eventually that room starts to fill with smoke(Co2) you make your way toward that window (ozone layer) trying to get some fresh air. It will eventually just get so smokey in there that you will feel like you are suffocating. Thats basically what is happening to the earth right now. The Co2 is trapped in the earth not letting the heat escape and raising the earths temp melting the ice caps. The irony about that is once the ice caps are melted b/c of raised ocean temps our weather will become more extreme ie alot more snow, rain and hurricanes.

This world has known several periods of global warming (and cooling) that all occurred before man was invented. Some people say we're responsible because we introduce some greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. To me that sounds like someone sticking their hand out of a passenger train and saying their stopping the train because of increased drag.
To answer your question: It's hard to stop something we didn't start.

possable, Work to promote solutions to global warming using current and cutting-edge technology that will reduce our use of fossil fuels. By switching to energy efficient cars and trucks, and clean, renewable energy, we can curb global warming pollution, save consumers money and curtail our reliance on oil.
so we will always have snow it cant talk over.

It will become warmer and warmer,the ice from the north pole will melt and the water from oceans will rise.Also the clime will get warmer and there will be no winter eventually.
