Default And the forecast for this winter is. bitterly cold with heavy snow and power blackouts

I'm a little confused (comes with my age g).

I was led to beleive that forcasts of a coming colder winter were
partly based on there being an active hurricane season the previous
summer. Although I haven't looked at all years and this year we are
upto 19 named storms but, looking back at those infamous winters of 47,
63 and 87 (south uk) the prvious hurricane seasons only produced
(1946)6, (1962)5 & (1986)6 named storms. Now I wouldn't call that
active! Have I missed something?
