El Nino back?

[supermodel159]

I did some googling and found that el nino and la nina have little to no effect on so-cal, I was kinda hoping it might mean a good snow year for us down in the "beach" communities heres crossing my fingers.

Little to no effect????

Rain and Surf dont effect you????

1. El Nino will be making a comeback.
2. Much of the effect of el nino for the west is contingent on the strength of the el nino and the location of SST (sea surfact temp) anomaly. At this point it's too early to tell what the set up will mean for the west coast.
3. The effect of the nino for the rest of the country is muted. East coast weather is a little more dependent on the PDO, the AO and the NAO. However weak el nino's following waning la nina's where there has been a cool and wet summer (on track for that so far) have been COLD winters on the east coast.
4. Utah is the least affected by change from a nina regime to a nino regime.

So does Mad River Glen get more than 350" of snow this year?
