El Niņos never hit until like February.
We'll be on this same thread next December and January saying "El Niņo my ASS! It hasn't rained since August".

Ummmm....we were going to forego winter (or whatever it's been) and sail to Mexico in Dec.
Now, not sure what to do. There are some options.

Depends on what patterns the jetstream sets into over the winter. Could take all the moisture to the SE instead of Cali. Either way, Cali could just be returning to drier conditions after an unusually long run of wet climate:

Ah, it's in the models and they never ever agree-current consensus from my weather guru in NZ is El Nino will max out in Nov but maintain until late March and it is far far from being the most powerful ever.

I'll believe it when I ski it. That warm water off the coast could mean warm storms which is not good for breaking our drought. We need snow, not rain events up to 10, 11 and 12k.
If El Nino does indeed produce more precip, it typically favors southern CA. I'd be more concerned about flash floods and mudslides south of Fresno more than anything at this point. I'd be happy with an average year in Tahoe.

Got my gutters cleaned out yesterday...mostly because they overflowed in recent thunderstorms! Gonna pick up some sandbags, though.
True enough that these El Nino's tend to favor So Cal, but I'm reaaaaalllllyyy hoping there's just a liiittttllle more Gulf of Alaska cold air influence on this one that could push the snow level just a bit lower. Fingers crossed...but any precip will be appreciated.

You really need those embers to die down so the snow doesn't melt on contact.
