La Nina looks like it will continue for the winter.
Just ran some numbers and found that...
Out of the last 41 winter seasons `80-81 thru `20-`21:
- 16 have been La Nina during the DJF period (meteorological
winter).
In these 16 seasons, the State College Co-Op location (PSU`s
Walker Building) snowfall has been:
- Above normal (GT +1 standard deviation) for only 2 seasons
(`83-`84 and `95-`96). 1995-1996 had nearly 100" of snow,
- 9 seasons were near normal (median of 38.8" over the 41
seasons), and
- 5 were below normal (LT -1 standard deviation).
