  Just curious: Has anyone read anything about the possible causes of this year's very mild and generally snowless winter in North America? 
   Clearly, it isn't global warming, as Eurasia had a very cold and snowy winter. You may remember news reports about the Danube River being choked with ice for much of its length, an unprecedented number of deaths --mainly of the homeless-- due to the frost in Eastern Europe, and villagers in the former Yugoslavia being snowed in for weeks. Etc., etc.
   Is it the La Nina/El Nino phenomenon? Other ocean circulation fluctuations? Solar flares, or lack thereof?
