Looking like an El nino year, Im located in the North east - useally El nino years bring in moisture with near normal temps, so while I don't expect the brutal cold like the last 2 years I will expect the usual snow / sleet / rain storms. I will take the precipitation and I'm glad that the brutal cold might not linger as much this year.

Bastardy is a joke, between the "end of the world" forecasts to just being way off base he truly is a poster child of excess and incompetence

just for fun here's another. taken from http://www.propanebuzz.com/the-morning-buzz-el-nino-winters-not-all-same/
I just know that the last strong one in 2009-2010 dumped three feet of snow on my head and our power lines in a day.
Last strong el Nino was in 97-98. There have been minor ones in between but nothing like the big one. In 98 we had bee hives swarming in late Feb. That shouldn't be happening until May/June.
We planted a month early this year with no problem. And we have been harvesting fantastic cantaloupes - in the Pac NW! Plus we continue to break temp records. elNino is definitely here.

I can take the cold, but the last couple of winters here in western NY, have been huge snow years.
Having salt on my car for every day, gets really old.

The real handle NOAA has given it is the Bruce Lee El Nino. The Godzilla thing was just a wisecrack on of them made.
