the weather in any area is directly controlled by the jet stream. It's path oscillates widely as it moves around the world and across our country. it isn't surprising that since it can push both cold and warm temps thousands of miles, in a year that the jet is being more erratic, you could get extreme temps both ways. The media, hence the public, tends to talk and think in terms of average and normal. That is scientifically silly, since what they should really be telling us it there is a normal 'range' and we could be in that 'range' any day of the year, given the season. I personally find it frustrating that the complexity of weather has been dumbed down so much, it is just basically inaccurate forecasting or even explanations more that 2-3 days out. It would be nice, just once, if a forecaster said "we have no clue what the jet stream is going to do beyond 3 days, so we are just guessing, folks". Here on the east coast, when a hurricane is coming, they actually do talk that way, and show the public the wide possible path. At least you begin to realize what a thousand mile spread really is. Otherwise, our brains think in terms of 'worse than normal' because that makes a good news story.
I think you make a good observation: some years are just tough weather. The really smart folks get that, look for the signs, plan & act accordingly. They prosper while others fail.

This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
