This was our 3rd La Nina in a row which was very odd.

This winter was insanely mild.

Next winter could be a return to normal but it could develop again.

Majority of the US population is in the east coast which saw record warmth.

What do you mean "in the east coast"? In the eastern half of the continent, sure, but not right at the coast.

Sorry I meant basically the center of the country all the way east. I trade Natural gas futures and we base heating demand mostly from the center to the east coast of the USA.

Agreed, it's been the coldest winter we've had in the East Bay for a while. Snow on the mountains across San Pablo Bay that I've never seen before.

That's San Francisco. It's not the center of the universe.

Colder than average in Arizona for 6 out of the last 7 months. A chilly cool season, no doubt in much of the western US.
