Nice set, but Id scratch a few of those off and here is why:
1956-1957 : Coming straight out of a 3 year sustained and strong La Nina, we've had a neutral year between the most recent La Nina and this year
1973-1974: We are almost certainly not going into a strong La Nina, which 73-74 was the strongest in the past 60 years
1995-1996: We are very likely not going into a moderate La Nina, plus that came off the back of a moderate El Nino the year before
2002-2003: We are very likely not going into a moderate El Nino
2006-2007: See reason above for 2002-2003
Not trying to be critical at all... but based on solely ENSO alone, you can bump those off since they are far enough away, from what will likely be this winter's conditions, that they will skew a plot in one direction or another.
