La Nina–AGAIN!

Table of Contents

imageWhile last winter didn’t seem that cold (skiing was NOT as epic as I had hoped or the dramatic forecasts had predicted), it did have lots of rain and this year is likely to be colder and wetter than average also. According to the national Climate Prediction Center’s announcement yesterday, it looks like a wetter, but not necessarily colder winter than average. Their analysis balances a variety of models, each with a differing assessment, complicating the prediction. My personal advice: expect rain and look out the window for the latest weather update.

Bloomberg has some additional background on La Nina.
