It actually is all starting to make a little sense. The first thing you need to do is to assume the AGW crowd got everything wrong. And I mean just about everything. So disregard CO2 as a GHG. It is insignificant by density. Just watch what happens with water vapor, the dominant GHG. During the 2008/2009 El Nino, we experienced a very wet winter and warm summer. Water vapor GHG increased by up to 5 % positive anomaly during the last El Nino. The warm summer was due to the water vapor GHG increase from El Nino.

Then we switched to La Nina. The US eventually followed into cold this fall/winter. Now the entire globe is colder then normal. The last La Nina resulted in up to a negative 5 % anomaly in water vapor density. So the atmospheric density decreased and so did its heat capacity. Right now the question is when will this winter end ? We have another major blast of Arctic air coming this Sunday night and we were supposed to warm up before then.

We restocked on light long underwear. Have a feeling it's going to be an especially cold winter.

I remember a winter or two as a kid so cold that it froze mud puddles on the waterfronts of the central California coast, just south of Big Sur. Doesn't happen very often. At least not in our piddling lifespans!
