Thank you for your article, I appreciate your use of wit to help swallow the medicine;) In a nutshell, please let me know if I correctly picked up what you were putting down..

1. Models still indicating high percent chance of a moderately strong La Nina event. 

2. La Nina event for US means wetter to the North, drier to the south. 

3. La Nina precipitation event also typically brings colder temperatures to the North, warmer to the South.

4. For this winter/spring, you are leaning away from the possibility of the colder temperature narrative. 

Thanks again, 

Kelley
