Yeah...wasn't Godzilla supposed to peak by late fall, and persist into spring '16?
I woulda thought that if it was going peak by late fall, it would be in gear by now...or maybe there's a tidal wave sneaking up behind us all....

In the So Cal area, we've had more precip over the summer and fall than in recent years- set a minor record, actually- but nothing Godzilla-like.
Gotta keep reminding myself that El Nino is characterized by multiple meteorologic facets, and precipitation (esp. in the specific area of the Cali Coast) can vary quite a bit, and still be considered an El Nino.
Still, got the fingers crossed. We could use a good onslaught!

The Tahoe/Reno area enjoyed an above average summer precipitation total and because of a series of November winter storms the ski areas are opening ahead of schedule. When I left on the 13th the temp in Palomino Valley was 6f. In Ak , I had first snowfall at my cabin at 2500' on the Glenn Hwy on Aug. 30. The current snow totals seem to be in the normal range, but the november temps are a little on the low normal side, currently -13f. Definitely a good start on a strong winter season up and down the west coast. We'll see if it continues.

My money is on California being bypassed for the duration of El Niño 2015.
BTW, did y'all note that northern England has been hit with a '100 year flood'
for the second time in 10 years?
Norway is also being heavily flooded, as we speak.

Models for later this week show significant precip hitting Northern California south of the area getting nailed in the Doppler image you posted.
Most of the El Niño related precip is supposed to hit central and northern ca next month.
