This post was both interesting and informative, especially with seeing how the area I live (eastern Oklahoma) might well have been even drier than it was this past winter had it not been for El Nino.  And, I look forward to getting a better idea of what else might have been influencing the weather of this area this past winter.

Now, my request is this.  Either this blog or the polar vortex one once featured an animation showing average temperatures over the previous week and then month and gradually forwarding it, day by day.  It was really interesting, plus seeing longer averages helped to minimize how much day-to-day variability there was.  So, would you mind including something like that to show temperatures and precipitation this past winter for the United States?  It would make it easier to see the effects of El Nino this past winter.

Thanks for reading this, and I look forward to hearing from you.
