It's also very easy to pick 1 element that's the same. North Atlantic
Sea temperatures, arctic ice extent, etc etc paint a very different

Has there been any research into looking at past weather patterns and
perhaps assigning some kind of "similarity" metric to the various elements
of previous data?

Probably means thay had similar October weather - only trouble is the cold
spell was January - March, and I don't think you can extrapolate for more
than a few days.

I think someone else has said this before but recent years with a wet,
cooler than average summer and dry, warmer than average September/
October (of which there aren't many) have some correlation with a cold
winter - 1978,85,86. Does this extend back any further?
