Linear teleconnections to winter climate in Europe are known to be very small (Kiladis and Diaz, 1989; van Oldenborgh et al., 2000), much smaller than in spring and fall. In Dec–Feb, of the 168 ECD (Klein Tank et al., 2002) precipitation stations (average record length 80 years), only 4 have a signi...
