What watered down the effects of this Lanina for OR/CA?

Earlier in the fall posts were all excited about us being in the firing line for this winter also considering we were in a solar minimum yet this year acted like El Nina where La Nino got confused with El Nino.  In fact Halloween was about our best we got for cold weather and it seemed for a time we were going to have a humdinger of a winter.

 

I was going to give out some examples of how the winter played out here vs what the models said but I don't think people will read it so I didn't bother to cast my pearls before the swine or so they say.
