Well not common but not un expected.

Kicking Up Dust
The impacts of La Niña on our weather and climate have been highly variable throughout history. La Niña delivers drier, warmer, and sunnier weather along the southern tier of the United States, from California to Florida. This weather increases the risk of wildfires in Florida and dryness in the North American plains. The great Dust Bowl drought of the 1930s is thought to have been caused by a decade of La Niña-like conditions and was likely responsible, in part, for the severe drought in the American Midwest in 1988. The 1988-89 La Niña, believed to be one of the most severe in history, has been estimated to cost $40 billion in damages in North America!

This is one of your "I know a guy so I am an expert now" arguments.

I live up here in the north. You just google it.

Its not so much the warmth but the consistency of it year to year. I guess you have to live it to see it. But what would you know about that.
