correct me if im wrong. im not a professional at this weather stuff at all.
with an El Nino comes warmer temps but also increased precip correct? so where i live In Southwestern Montana, where we are still affected by the arctic blasts in January we will still be slightly warmer due to moisture coming off the Pacific but temps wont be as warm as say the Pacific Northwest because we are still affected by the Arctic North. so we should see a late fall (first significant snowfall a little later) and not quite as cold maybe not -20 or -30 as much. and maybe a mid winter thaw say around January or February? maybe a few cold snaps but an increase in snowfall because of the El Nino and the warmer temps and increased moisture mostly snow but maybe a few rain storms in early winter. we usually average about 75 to 120 inches of snow yearly so this year maybe 100 to 150 inches? correct me if im wrong This post has been edited by off the grid: Aug 10 2009, 11:43 PM -------------------- Count down to winter

I am no expert, but this link gives a general idea of what to expect from El Nino
