Why isn’t it cold this December?

Except this year it's La Nina, second winter in a row.

I moved to the DC area 20 years ago. Decembers are seldom very cold here. January and February are when winter really seems to kick in.

To the tune of Tannenbaum

O Climate Change, O Climate Change
How lovely are thy Northern winters!

O Climate Change, O Climate Change
How furious are thy Southern summers!

Your storms so fierce in El Niño years,
Tornados, fires, floods and droughts raise fears

Now every year feels like an El Niño year
Tornados, fires and floods routinely appear

O Climate Change, O Climate Change
How lovely are thy northern Winters

Again, people don’t read.

La Niña means we’re in the negative phase of the El Niño Southern Oscillation, or ENSO for short. Per NOAA, La Niña is defined as cooler than normal sea-surface temperatures in the central and eastern tropical Pacific Ocean that impact global weather patterns. That results in a pattern supportive of warmer-than-normal and drier-than-normal conditions in this part of the US.

Not sure La Nino applies here … also the cycles are seven yearly.

El Niño refers to the above-average sea-surface temperatures that periodically develop across the east-central equatorial Pacific. It represents the warm phase of the ENSO cycle. La Niña refers to the periodic cooling of sea-surface temperatures across the east-central equatorial Pacific.

Even if it is a la Niño year in theory - Winter Heatwave in US broke temperature records … God help us in the El Niño years !
