Hot Summer & Winter Weather?

[whitedust]

Does this hot summer have any effect on next winter temps & snow? Or is summer just summer & winter just winter & no weather links to each other?

To the best of my knowledge, no firm connection exists. However, with that said, I will say that mother nature does like to even the score over the long run, so the longer a particular location sees one type of weather anomaly, the better the chances that the opposite will occur in the not too distant future. I guess we can just hope that the autumn is not the cold period.
