Hail or graupel showers overnight here. Woke me up. Still some left in the roof valleys this morning.
It's called clown range for a reason.

You’re more likely to “roll” the dice and win a good winter during a La Niña than a strong El Niño but it’s not guaranteed. Let’s say you have a 50% chance of a good roll in a neutral year. It might only be 30% chance in a moderate strong El Niño. And maybe 60% in -ENSO -QBO. 70% in -ENSO +QBO. IMO there is absolutely no setup that guarantees a blockbuster winter.
Tell that to snow wizard. :lol:
It always snows in December in the Kootenays :clap:

In all honesty, it would only take minor changes to that modelled pattern for it to be decently cold by March standards.
