Let's not gloat too much. The East Coast always gets clobbered in an El Nino year, but that's a very short term event.

On the other hand, sunspot activity has been abnormally low and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation has turned cool, so we are probably in for a cool decade or more, but not every winter will be this snowy for the East.

I live in the East and aside from what is predicted for tomorrow we’ve gotten off light. Global warming is still BS though.

But the AGW Worshipers are trying to claim it was a very strong El Nino year and that is why we have so much snow in the east coast. They live in a fantasy world. It was not a very strong El Nino. Only was strong for a few weeks. No where near the 1998 El Nino in strength. More similar to the 2003 El Nino. Now it is dropping like a rock. And El Nino does not explain the snow storm that will dump snow deep down south later this week. And it does not explain the deep freeze that devastated Florida in Early January.

On the other hand, sunspot activity has been abnormally low and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation has turned cool, so we are probably in for a cool decade or more, but not every winter will be this snowy for the East.

Actually we just had a couple of days of moderate sun activity. This is the first time in 6 years we have had that. Looks like it will drop back down below moderate in a few days though. At any rate we have been cooling for 6 years and have a long way to go before we start warming back to normal even if the sun gets to strong activity. The past few winters prove that, but the AGW Worshippers are running around measuring temperatures not biased for air density or humidity and they are clueless living in a fantasy world.
