According to Exacta, a solar flare is to blame for cancelling the easterly (see the PDF linked to in this tweet).

I'm not sure what cancelled the November and December snow, though.
But it was cold in the USA, so of course he claims to be a weather guru. Though I don't see how his forecasts came up with record breaking cold weather in both the US and Europe for most of the winter. I can't think of many synoptics that would produce that.
