La Nina is coming

[pag]

I've read that La Nina is coming after el Nino

what does it means for snow precipitation all over North America?

 

[twsnow22]

it never snows during la nina, even at the highest elevations it will be rainy.

 

[luc]

[mr.green]

noooooo la nina causes more snow then usual, el nino means crazy temperature changes and less snow, get learned la nina is our friend

 

[mr.green]

[Zump.]

[T.Hartman]

It depends where you live. If your in the pnw your in luck. For Cali people... It kinda blows.

Good thing I live in Seattle

 

[Funnel]

Some kids on NS are absolute dumbfucks when it comes to weather. Also. Fuck La Niña. Although, I'm fine with it since we just had El Niño and it treated CA wonderfully.

[theteo]

Is it hard to find housing for seasonal workers in Glacier? (winter that is)

 

[Fischer-Addicted]

I don't know very much about the weather, how does la nina differ from el nino and what does that mean for east coast skiers?

 

[mr.green]

theres a link above, go read it, itll answer all your questions

 

[down2freeski]

For CO we will have less powder days but more snow overall. down in Denver it won't snow very much but then out of nowhere it will dump.

El Nina = BUENO

 

[meeesh]

El Nino/La Nina is a average temperature bump... Nino = warmer Nina = cooler. So if your area benefits from colder temps in terms of precip, than you should benefit, this does not mean its beneficial everywhere.

"El Niño would cause a dry period in the Midwestern U.S., while La Niña would typically cause a wet period in this area."

They also mirror one another, if Nino is particularly harsh, Nina should be as well.

 

[_Jesus_]

West coast had our el nino this year/ It basically makes a super early season snow dumpage (ours started early november) and then dies and gets sunny, making low elevation resorts turn to dirt and high elevation resorts turn to slush and ice for the majority of the season.
and the east coast el nino lags about a season behind, so your season is about the be ruined if you live there.

 

[_Jesus_]

oh yeah dont mind my other post, I guess there is a big difference between la nina and el nino. But the thing about el nino ski seasons on east and west coast is still true.

 

[Bryan*]

zomzigoo.

 

[meeesh]

I have a degree in geography & earth sciences aka weather and climate courses... but you're right! I know nothing, OMG LOLZ!!!

 

[GreenHorn]

haha

 

[Elmo.]

thank god... like NH maine and vermont didnt really get a whole lot of snow this year... mostly man made crap and early closes

 

[Joe_Brogan]

no, im pretty sure la nina means drier conditons in the east and wetter conditions in the west.

drier=less snow wetter=alot of snow

 

[.Asain-Skiier]

Time for the beach/dock jumping.

 

[adamlukowski]

but last year on the east we had no snow... and the west had a lot, so like people have said above it would switch

 

[Willard]

JAhhhhh get the pow boards ready

 

[jibbinc.]

Going by what it said on that site...

Vancouver / Whistler are in for cold and wet weather.

THIS IS GOOD!!!!!!!!
