I willingly admit that I know about 5.82% of all the alphabet soup of teleconnections that is discussed here, but I enjoy reading and following along, and making random comments when warranted (usually in banter/observations). Recently, @John1122 made a comment that it seems that our area was moved 150-200 miles south and now we can't get any decent weather that many of us remember from our youth. That got me to thinking, and I remembered last year that there were stories out there about the magnetic North pole shifting rapidly towards Russia. As I said, I don't know much about the daily alphabet soup menu options, but I think there is possibly some correlation to John's comment, the North pole shifting and our over-abundance of lackluster winters.
