Record cold and snowy winter across much of South America

Many climatologists blame the new 'La Nina' colder sea-surface temperature event in the waters of the east-central Pacific Ocean for the harsh winter of 2013 across South America. It's my climatological opinion, however, that a colder Antarctic continent is responsible. But, once again, only time will tell.
