We’re going to lose an October rain battle to… Las Vegas? Seriously? Despite being massive favorites — Seattle averages about
El nino yo
I feel some guilt as the rest of the world braces for the super el nino that for us I think it mostly means a warmer, drier, sunnier winter
Actually… this probably is the start of El Niño starting to get its fingerprints on our weather.
It’s not quite the typical El Niño jet stream pattern juuuuust yet despite our dry weather and California’s rain, but looking at the long range models, give it about a week or so because things look very El Nino-ey to start November.

I really hope not, but the NOAA 3-month outlook is bleak for those of us who enjoy winter. It might be even worse than last year, and last year’s snowfall was historic amounts of awful. Many snow monitoring stations were at 30-year lows, or worse. I had a planned winter camping trip last February, and instead of snow we had sunny 60-degree afternoons. Ski areas were barely operating.
Definitely feel a little guilty, but I’m also keeping my fingers crossed for a sunny and dry Halloween day so trick or treating is as fun as possible haha
