paging all weather-geeks. can anyone point me to some good sites that may have snowfall predections for the coming season? NOAA usually has there predections out this time of year, just haven't been able to locate them. also, whats the scoop on el nino? are they calling for one this winter?
am hoping it dumps early and often everywhere :p
noaa site
Front page headlines anounce the return of el Nino. "El Niño conditions have developed in the tropical Pacific and are expected to last through early 2005..."
whole story

At this time it is not clear what, if any, impacts this event will have on ocean temperatures in the classical El Niño region along the west coast of South America and on temperature and precipitation in the United States.
its not gunna snow at all. no precipitation whatsoever [/anti-jinx]

With this ridiculous hurricane season, you might expect for us to get paid back somehow... :( We'd better! (But just not to jinx it: it's ok if not...)
Too bad they aren't Typhoons and it wasn't Late November AK would be getting POUNDED god I love Typhoons (except when they kill people that kinda sucks)Quote:

It will not suck to be in Taos or the San Juans this year, judging from Milton's map.

So I guess we have an equal chance of Snow this winter in Colorado?
Well the good news is that a el nino winter is ussually followed by a la nina, and last time we had a la nina winter we only got 1100 inches :)

Here's a map and description of what effect El Nino has.
Wetter southwest? I like polar jet stream for some NE lake effect too.

I don't know about satellite stuff but the ol' farmers signs work well for me.
The maples have changed colors early and the aspens are changing colors late, very good sign.
Winter bird's nests are huge, another good sign.
The ground is wet and temps are nicely, slowly dropping.
Oh, and my fingers are crossed.
:D
hmmm, those maps looked promising....above avg precip in the Sierra Nevada if they are to be believed. All I know is last El Nino brought some serious dumpage to Tahoe......
Praise be to Ullr!
