    2014-2015 Weather Whether

    So on the NOAA long range predictions, Cliff Mass had an interesting analysis:
    http://cliffmass.blogspot.com/2014/0...s-are-out.html

    In sum: the NOAA long range forecasts are not very accurate.

    That said, what are the predictions, indicators, trends or tea leaves?
    Isn't the big El Nino dwindling?

    I like black tea with hints of cinnamon and citrus. Murky.

    For past trends, Amar has some good things to say about our zone, though the page is a few years outdated: http://skimountaineer.com/CascadeSki...eSnowENSO.html

    ... and Mr. Crocker's website bestsnow.net has an analysis page: 50.87.144.177/~bestsnow/El_Nino.htm


    But for the future, I have naught to contribute.

    That didn't exactly hold true last season. I was up in AK in April and it was terrible. Alyeska had one of their worst seasons ever.

    My friend the groomer is cautiously optimistic based on the wet summer and fall we've had. He notes that wet summers are usually followed by big winters.

    A LANL scientist predicted that the southwest for the next 5 years will be moist, because of some oscillation in the Indian ocean. I cannot now find the link. That was last year, and if thgis past summer is any indication, he was pretty spot on.

    When was the last big one for the SW? 2006? 2008? One of those years was huDge.

    In any case, we'll be down and I'll be in touch.

    2005 was enormous. IIRC, that was the year of that huge slide at Las Vegas Ski and Snowboard that ripped the kid from the lift.

If someone could make a jacket of those three things it would no doubt be the most popular and prized item in all of your closets.
