Hi Kelley, that's a pretty good summary. I would just add the caveat that the impacts of La Nina are always in terms of probabilities; Mother Nature sometimes can have other ideas, like what we saw last winter. Regarding the colder solution for winter/spring, I will point out the peak of La Nina typically occurs around now (late November), so it's hard to imagine that we will suddenly turn much colder in December and January like some models indicate. However, that is my personal opinion and not an official NOAA position. :-)
