Re: [californiadisasters] Will El Niño 2015 rival the strongest year on record?



Let's hope that we get an El Niño at all. Mother Nature has let is down the last few times because of the dome of stale high pressure sitting on California. The dome just kills most of the bigger storms and leaves us with below average rainfall and snowpack.

Well, with the ongoing drought having hurt their business the past few years one can hardly blame them.

Rightio.  I'm thinking in regards to skiing and what's being said about that down here. Sadly, the local ski resorts are using similar El Nino ads to promote the upcoming season.

More rain means more snowpack above the snowline and it is the NorCal snowpack that matters, not the SoCal one.

And to confirm, El Ninos usually bring heavier Sierra snowpacks?   I know for SoCal, it's usually a smaller snowpack due to more rain and less snow.

Weak to moderate El Niños more often than not do end up leaving California with below-average rainfall. Strong El Niños are another matter. Most of the time (but not all the time) they lead to very wet winter here.

Want to get so excited about this, but we've been let down so many times before with fizzled El Ninos.   Has there been any studies or %'s showing the odds of another fizzle?        The anticipation is killing me!
