Greg, I agree the Decadal Oscillation has the effects described. I think the point is though that extremes are enhanced and frequencies increase. I haven't missed a Mn. winter in 64 yrs. I'm like the Eskimo with 50 names for snow. Most of those winters I have lived in as an outdoor hockey player, ice fisher etc. and I see the patterns changing in a dramatic way toward warmer shorter winters & longer hotter summers.
