The last 3 Winters for NTX were (2014/15 El Nino) Cold (2015/16 Strong El Nino) Warm (2016/17 weak La Nina/Neutral) Warmer
Winter 2010/11 Was a La Nina and we had a average winter with snow.

The one thing that has stuck out to me, that can potentially mean a cold winter, is that the potential Nina/cold neutral is very tilted to the east. Eastern based La Nina can be very cold as the spatial pattern is resemblance to a modoki Nino (warm west , colder east) just look back to the 1970s Ninas. I think we can benefit from this. Very warn NIna winters tend to be cold west with NIno 3.4 often chillier than 1+2 and 3.

Recent years with running colder tilted to the east includes 2010 and 2013.

This gives me hope and I think can be a key player in the coming months.

Let's hope this continues, though do we have any validated studies on sunspots (or lack thereof) and cold winters? I know I've read a few articles, but not seen any real studies. :D

Take what NOAA says with a grain of salt... La Nina's tend to be warmer and dryer overall but has brought some of the coldest cold snaps the DFW N Texas and its fair share of winter stoms. They are pretty robotic with their long range forecasts. Remember when they said winter 15-16 would be cooler? They were wrong in fact it was very warm that winter with only a TRACE of snow.

The CPC seasonal WINTER outlook is no better than 50% accurate which oddly enough is the same % of the Old Farmers Almanac winter outlook. :roll: :spam:

I used to put a lot of stock in each winter forecast that came out every year. Now I feel like they are pretty much a novelty. Take 4 different winter forecasts and 2 of them will call for warm and dry and the other 2 will call for cold and wet. It then seems like out of the warm and dry forecasts, 50% will be wrong with 50% being wrong out of the cold and wet forecasts. These days its almost a coin flip.
