If you recall, we were going into this past winter with an El Nino going on. El Nino is the warmer than normal Pacific waters along the equator. Normally that kind of pattern gives us a wetter and cooler winter in the south and in Louisiana. Here are the numbers...
December
Avg Temp 55.1 degrees/-0.1 degrees below normal
Rainfall 10.03"/+4.96"

January
Avg Temp 53.6 degrees/+1.0 degrees above normal
Rainfall 4.86"/-1.01"

February
Avg Temp 53.8 degrees/-1.9 degrees below normal
Rainfall 2.30"/-3.17"

So the winter months were:
-1.0 degrees below normal and +.78" above normal
Cooler and Wetter than normal
