Why did we have so much snow last winter?

This article provides a pretty clear explanation of the unusual link between El Nino and the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) that caused the tremendous snows in our area this past winter.  The last time the NAO was similar to this past winter was 1995-96, which was also a snowy winter for the Mid-Atlantic, but the depth of this past winter's snow was enhanced by the extra moisture that El Nino pumped into our region.
