There is hope ! Of course we all know how fickle this lady can be but
maybe we can up the activity!!! 

Thomas KN4LF Says:
Same here, got my first one of the season night before last. Last season
I worked 45 new countries, with all but 8 coming after February 1st.
Why? Mid winter anomaly. Excessive D layer ionization from southern
hemisphere summer, spills over into the northern hemisphere along
magnetic lines of force, starting around our first day of winter and
lasts 4-6 weeks. The spill over creates absorption from south to north
that otherwise would normally not occur.
