El Nino winters usually suck for us snow lovers around here so I'm not at all surprised by how this season has played out. I was expecting this season to be a lousy one and it lived up to my expectations lol. With La Nina returning, one can only hope next winter should fair better around here.
What we really don't need is a pattern change sometime in March where we get stuck in a cold/wintry pattern that lasts well into spring.
Also, developing La Nina summers are usually good for us here (1998, 2007, 2010, 2016 and 2020). All of them were hot, dry summers for the region.
