Just not as many, on average.
Or, put another way, the world's temperature is not on a global rheostat, and a cold today, right where you are, today, doesn't mean that it's overall colder everywhere.
Unfortunately, that seems difficult for some folks to understand, aided and abetted by Fox newscasters chuckling over the matter.

Sorry, I couldn't get past "1) Global warming refers to the whole planet, not just the United States." Everyone knows that the only place that matters on the whole planet is the United States. Anything that happens elsewhere in the world just doesn't much matter at all.
+Melissa Walsh "As long as we get good weather, the rest of 'em can go hang." Yeah, I suspect there's quite a bit of that.
