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.

Looks like every winter ever

 

[Z33]

I hope its correct. I could go for a banner winter here in the southeast

 

[billb3]

we'll see

a warmer winter for me means rain
hopefully rain for socal and lots of snow for sierra nevada

 

[begreen]

Warm and dry here, just like the spring and summer. Not good for the snowpack or skiing.

here is one of J bastardy's analog el nino years, first hand is very close friend with Gar. Bastardi, joe's son.

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 (broken link removed to 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.

 

[BrotherBart]

97-98 was a "super strong" one. Get ready for bees again.

 

[begreen]

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.

 

[BrotherBart]

Where we get screwed is if the jet stream lets the cold coming out of Canada meet that moisture coming up from the Tennessee Valley from El Nino right over us, like it usually does, we be buried in snow. While New England sun bathes.

While New England sun bathes.

sounds good to me

 

[Knots]

sounds good to me

Amen brother - amen.

 

[sportbikerider78]

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.

[BrotherBart]

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

 

[begreen]

I'll start worrying when they call it "el Diablo".
