THIRD YEAR OF LA NIÑA LIKELY FOR 2023:

The National Climate Prediction Center forecasts indicate a 52% chance of La Niña effects for 2023.
The 3-year cycles of La Niña are rare and have only happened twice since 1950.
La Nina’s effects have driven extreme heat and widespread megadrought conditions across much of the United States for the past two years, decimating crops and contributing to food and energy shortages.

52% chance of it being 100% lame again....

I thought La Nina winters were the preferred between the two? Things worked out pretty well in Washington, rode November-July this year. This pic is less than a week ago

Impressive.

Ugh

So, 48% chance of a good winter? I'll take that over our chances of anyone in DC pulling their head out of wherever they stick it as soon as they hit that town. Actually, compared to that, it's looking like a good chance!

La Nina are often decent for northern states like Washington, top half of Idaho and Montana. But they can be 50-70% of average snowpack for utah, Colorado, Wyoming. Sierra Nevadas dont seem to be much affected as us landlocked states.

TOMORROW the new updates long range forecast should be out from NOAA...
But last month was not looking particularly exciting...

La Nina haven't faired well for Colorado overall. Would rather see El Nino or nothing for a good snow year around here

I wish I could keep may job by saying there's a 50/50 change of anything working out. Take your sled in to get fixed and the mechanic tells you "there's a 52% chance it'll work, but have fun". Lame azzes
