Joe Bastardi is still forecasting a nasty remainder of February and March east of the Rockies. So far Texas has experienced a below average November and January slightly above average in December. New England looks to be getting hit pretty hard this winter.

Im going with the volcanic eruption in Japan hypothesis. Pretty much following the same Jet that brought incendiary ballon bombs in WWII. However, the weather in California and the Pacific Northwest is certain interesting to read about. If history is to be a guide the current drought may last for years but is certainly not "unprecedented".

Found of interest that this author recognizes that the Atlantic also plays a role in SW/Midwest drought in the USA.

New England looks to be getting hit pretty hard this winter. Nasty indeed. I didn't expect this harsh of cold this month in the great lakes region. Forecast high of 2°F this Sunday with a healthy snow pack. Should be able to set a new record. FEBRUARY 15TH...RECORD LOW HIGH TEMPERATURE DETROIT AREA...6F(1905) FLINT AREA.....11F(1963) TRI-CITIES.....8F(1920)

Poor Boston but hey! despite the conditions in the NE February U.S. snow cover is now a holding at a decade low 37% covered....... also; www.wsi.com/blog/energy/the-eastern-pacific-ocean-is-now-in-cooling-state-that-should-last-roughly-a-month-or-so-shades-of-winter-2013-2014/"HEADLINE: An upwelling oceanic Kelvin wave has surfaced in the eastern Pacific Ocean, sucking up cold sub-surface waters to the surface. The atmosphere is responding and often sets up in a state that generates exceptional cold down across the CONUS. The upcoming pattern looks very similar to the Winter of 2013-2014. Our official 1-15 day period HDD forecast (514 HDDs) is more in lines with the ECMWF 1-15 day HDD forecast (509 HDDs), but note that the GFS ensembles is varying between 530-550 HDDs. With a 2 sigma rise in our Winter Demandex during the 6-15 day period forecast, it would support upside risk to our current 1-15 day period forecast, which the biggest upside HDD risk stemming in the 6-10 day period"
