Yes. And NAO (North Atlantic Oscillation) is also important.

Roebear has done a lot of work on that and other weather influencing factors. So I gladly defer to him regarding any questions you might have.

Suffice it to say that a combination of and other factors have been working in tandem to produce one of the colder March temperature patterns on record. The maps below are updated every day. But story has been more or less the same for weeks. Scroll down to Map #3 and you'll see how far below normal we are vs a more typical March at this point in the month.

Do you have any update or further thoughs on the Nuc Plant shutdowns now and as the year progresses?

And there's also another factor, I've noticed in longer term NG demand, that we've not discussed.

Except for the very heavy rain in the past day or two in the East/Central Appalachian states, reservior levels behind the many dams (believe there are 29) the TVA uses to generate hydroelectric power been certainly been impacted by the multi-year drought in most of the eastern US. Looked through the TVA web site. Perhaps I missed it. But although it mentions the drought, there's no reference, I could find there, to the obvious question about impact on generation capacity.
