I noticed on the list of years of weak El Nino's that we had a lot of back to back Snowstorms here in Kentucky. Is this scenario due to an active Subtropical jet combining  with the Polar jet ( over the Southern Rockies ) plus a very weak Southeast Ridge in place ? The years of strong to very strong El Nino's were very warm and wet like La Nina years here in the Ohio Valley. Does this increase in El Nino's Strength amplify the Southeast Ridge like the years of moderate to very strong La Nina years ?

Thank You in advance,
