“We have recently noticed a change in [weather] patterns back to what we had in the 1950s and 1960s in Europe… We’ve had three cold winters in a row in the UK,” WSI's chief meteorologist Todd Crawford told Platts.

I'm no expert in meteorology or statistics but that statement seems to be utter meaningless in terms of guessing future weather patterns.

I have followed some meterologist on Accuweather and they seem to use patterns from previous years that are analous to the current pattern to help determine future weather patterns. I couldn’t tell you if this is used by all weather gurus or if its a preferencial thing.
