well, first, it's El Niño (ñ should be read as gn....like lasagna)
and its a cyclic wheather abnormality, so I don't understand when you say "since"..
hasn't this happened before?...I'm oftly curious..
see, El Niño here means the warming of the usually cold Humboldt current and the subsequent dramatic increase in rainfall..
the opposite efect would be associated with droughts..
I assume that during El Niño it would be cooler but raininer in South East USA and México...
I know we have had droughts since 2009 (and California too, btw) so the extreme cold, I would blame it on La Niña (the opposite effect I was talking about)
El Nino (how ever you spell it) was a humongous hurricane system that lasted almost a year. And it changed the weather patterns.
Pre El Nino, Texas had significantly standardized weather patterns for as far back as I can remember.....and I can remember back to when I was about 3 years old.
I say "since" because nothing since El Nino has been powerful enough to change weather patterns.....again.
