They'll be survivors. You know, the ones that are burrowing themselves 100 feet deep into the ground or whatever. :lol:

Not this winter. The early rough prospects for next winter aren't any better.

Haha.

Who knows, maybe it's just around the corner. Still gotta believe we'll see at least one big event somewhere before this season's out.

Potential El Nino.

Ahh, yes, but remember the very strong El Nino of 3 years (I think) ago? Great winter in these parts. Also, a weak El Nino probably wouldn't be too bad. At this point, it is anyone's guess though. I can't imagine back-to-back crappy winters. Ugh!

I don't see how it could get any worse then this winter, well so far.

I guess it would partly depend on how strong a Nino gets (and as we saw previously there are others factors that can mitigate the warmth). IIRC, ENSO neutral winters coming off of a Nina or Nino tend to stink but I can't remember which.

Yeah, neutral winters after La Nina's can stink(see 2001-2). A nice weak El Nino probably would have alot of potential including ramping up the stj.

If next year is a Nina then lets hope its like 75-76. Nice start to that Winter. Certainly the best Nina winter of the three. Toronto got about 67".

But yeah a Weak El Nino would be fairly sick. A decent -AO with a slightly negative NAO and neutral-slightly positive PNA would be golden for our region.

Here's a composite of a neutral ENSO following a La Nina Winter.

Attached File  Neutral ENSO.png   14.35K   0 downloads

IMO I dont think Neutral is best preferred lol.

Snowfall wise, here's Toronto;

2001-02: 76cm or 29.9"
1996-97: 174.4cm or 68.7"
1985-86: 115cm or 45.3" (near avg)
1989-90: 127cm 50" (avg)

total avg: 123.1cm or 48.5"

Not the best avg. 1989-90 started good in December, the rest was crap.

Weak El Nino or another La Nina IMO...no neutral plz lol.

In the Midwest they do... the stronger the badder they are. Trust me I'd take a La Nina over an El Nino for a winter.

Not totally true. Weak El Ninos are usually a dream for SE MI. Strong usually arent, though 2009-10 wasnt bad. Winter 1977-78 and 2002-03 were weak el ninos.
