It's an if then proposition until we get past the current spring forecast barrier in early June. If this strong WWB pattern

continues trough May into June, then we'll probably be looking at a strong El Nino event. El Nino forecasts have better skill

once we get into June than they do during the spring. So it's better to wait another month or so before

trying to guess the final strength for later this year.

I hope not I hope it stays moderate. But a strong el niño will help the drought in California

Yeah, California generally does better in the cold season precipitation department with a stronger event than

a weak to moderate one. In another month or so we should have a better idea on the ultimate strength potential

beyond the borderline moderate conditions this week.

It's better for California if the Nino is east based rather than west based as the last two have been. An east based Nino better focuses the STJ into California and the Southwest, while west based ones tend to favor the big PNA ridge instead, and a weaker STJ over those areas.

 

That's right. More west based events were less robust for California rainy seasons than central or east centered ones.

2009-10 was ok the further south you went but Northern California was still dry.

The last time that I went into PR I ended up getting a warning point. They gang up on you if you don't agree with whatever agenda is currently being pushed.

In any event, what's going on down in Baltimore is an utter shame. This is like the 70's all over again.

No. But keep on keepin on.

Anyway it's gorgeous out today. Currently 70 and sunny.

I would gladly sacrifice a higher snowfall season for just one 2/11/83 caliber storm.

it happened the same date as the 2006 storm...both had moderating temperatures after the storm...2006 was 9" more but 1983 seemed bigger and more crippling...

I don't remember the 83 storm but I have heard the tales and seen the pics and its sounds like one of the greats. Despite the fact that 06 has the park snow record region wise I wouldn't put it in the top 10. Notice no one mentioned it in the favorite weather event thread. Out here on the island it was hardly memorable. What I rememeber it most from is watching the deform that gave the park the record fizzle as it headed east
