Thanks for a MOST Informative and Educational Article, and NOAA with their probable Three Month Forecast. NOAA was ' Spot On ' with this past Autumns Forecast. I believe their Forecast for ( JFM ) will Pan out also.

Ready for La Nina's return, as we receive more Rains here in the Ohio Valley, but unfortunately more Severe Weather. El Nino use to give Kentucky a Long, Colder and Snowier Winter. Not Anymore.

Questions : Has the Warmer Oceans, the Strong Southeast Ridge and a Strong Polar Vortex eliminated Winter Weather altogether here in the Southeast ? Or is this just a Weather Cycle we have been going through since 2015 ? Or could it be the Solar Cycle we are currently in causing a sudden change in the Climate ?

Thank you in advance,
