El Nino usually means cooler winters as it is more cloudy and wet. There are other factors in play like North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO), Arctic Oscillation (AO), Pacific North America (PNA), East Pacific Oscillation (EPO), and West Pacific Oscillation (WPO). As for snow, that is more of a timing issue based on cold air and moisture rather than relationship with El Nino. However, since El Nino winters are wetter, snow chances are more likely. The last El Nino winter we had, it snowed, which was 2009-2010. 1972-1973 had three +1" snowfall and it was El Nino.sambucol wrote:Does this mean we are going to have a colder winter than last year? Snow chances higher? Coldest winter in decades? Thanks!

Basically it mean below normal temperatures and above normal precipitation for our Region.

December's ENSO Update: Close, but no cigar.

Thursday, December 4, 2014
The first Thursday of every month is when we do the CPC/IRI ENSO status update, when NOAA officially answers the question “Are we there yet?” This month, the answer is...close, but no cigar.
redesign of their website is pretty cool, too - there's a tab for ENSO... http://www.cpcpara.ncep.noaa.gov/
