Of all the forecasters and their wonderful insight to why the weather should have been cold this winter, props to Hailstorm. He was the only one that gave an explanation as to why we weren't going to have the cold and had sound reasoning. Much more credence should be given to space weather as it seems this winter it has dominated our weather and yet no meteorologist even brings it up. Thanks again Hailstorm for your insight even though I didn't necessarily like to hear it.
