Weak vs. Moderate El Nino History In California. How Much Rain And Snow Will Come To Cali?

Of the past 8 weak El Ninos in Northern California, 3 have shown above average precipitation, 3 have show below average precipitation, and one was average.

El Nino might make California a ski haven this winter.  It also might not change anything.  It also might make things worse than they already are (which is scary to imagine…).  The reality is that the past 7 Weak El Ninos show that El Nino in California, as far as precipitation goes, it essentially a 50/50 coin toss.

According to NOAA, this year, it’s looking like we’ll most likely experience a Weak El Nino in the USA.  These graphs show us what the past 7 Weak El Ninos looked like precipitation-wise in California.

Of course if you are a skier or snowboarder, we’ll never see El Nino as a 50/50 coin toss.  El Nino means one thing and one thing only.  We’re thinking 1983′s record breaking snowfall.  1998′s persistent bilzzards.  1995′s insane snowpack.
