El Nino?!?!

[djp622]

With predictions of a strong El Nino event to happen Im glad I can finally see something tangible happening that may break this pattern of below average winters here in Utah. Anyone else stoked for this? I know its July but Im already itchin!!!

The National Weather Service has backed down on the strong El Ninio. They are still predicting one, just not a strong one. I really hope we all get tons of snow anyway. We're so overdue for it.

The trouble with El Niño is the storm are typically warmer storms that have a lot of water content in the snow. I hoping for a cold wet winter.

I'm gonna have to find some friends in N. CA to ride with. Last time this hit we had absolutely no snow here. Last winter was bad enough.

My occupation is a Water Specialist which makes me .005% more accurate than a car salesman.We will have a tad warmer but much precip this winter, Signed a "Fool",, my buddies are the idiots,

If the trend holds sledders who get their snow from the Pacific should be near the start of another roughly 10-15 year period of snowy winters.
