WHO IS SICK OF SNOW????

    RED, WHITE, and BLUE AMERICA? No, I think just WHITE!! There has been snow on the ground in 49 states, thanks to an unusual combination of weather patterns that dusted the U.S., including the skyscrapers of Dallas, the peach trees of Atlanta and the Florida Panhandle, where hurricanes are more common than snowflakes. Snowball fights broke out at Southern Mississippi University, snow delayed flights at the busy Atlanta airport, and Louisiana hardware stores ran out of snow supplies. Andalusia, Ala. , shut down its streets because of snow. And yet, Portland, Maine, where snow is usually a given, had to cancel its winter festival for lack of snow.
WHY??? The strange snowfall pattern is produced by the EL Nino weather phenomenon and it's Arctic counterpart. During moderate to strong EL Niño's like the current one, more moister is pumped into the subtropical jet stream across the South, increasing precipitation. Then there's the Arctic Oscillation, the Northern cousin to EL Nino, which shifts cold polar air south. That cold air can turn a rainstorm into a snowstorm.
