I read an article that says the blob has been wiped out by El Niņo. If so, I'm curious if the effects of El Niņo will last beyond 2015-2016, since the Blob blocked a lot of storms from entering California.

I believe the Blob is taking a big old morning after too many cocktails and hotdogs s hit on south central Alaska right now.

Here's a graph comparing strong El Ninos. Could be another jump in global temps in the next few months.

Some guy named Jonas came by and dropped off 29 inches of snow yesterday in northern Virginia. Not sure how much rain that would equate to but if you're short, you're welcome to come and pick it up.
We're giving it away for FREE!!!

6 feet of sand has been washed away from our local beach, which rarely has any shape, and my 21 year old son is experiencing his first El Nino winter.

California snow water content is above normal for north and central Sierra while south is a little below normal.
Overall, the reservoirs are only half-full, so we need much more.
So this El-Nino is not a complete bust, with 2 more significant rain/snow months left in the season.

Just because it's an El Nino winter doesn't guarantee a big winter...Febuary and March are still to come and we all know that these 2 months can be huge for snow fall...Be patient Pyro...

Pyro- I've surfed Malibu to Rincon with my family, quite a bit over the past five years, as an alternative to Baja trips. I love it up there and the Silver Strand locals always roll out the red carpet-haha. I've heard good things about Capitan as well.

Looks like El Nino is getting ready to sucker punch California with the big red fist. This is the forecast map of atmospheric water for Friday and red and pink means very wet. Atmospheric river makes landfall - good for snow pack and drought, bad for landslides and flooding.
