La Nina correlations

Perhaps Cliff Mass will explain it to us at 7 PM on October 2 at Whatcom Community College in Bellingham. Will he take questions about La Nina 2010-11? Maybe so!

You can put this into your correlation pipe.

Pink = ElNino season
Blue = LaNina season

Nice graph Jack! Shouldn't it be the other way around? (the boy blue and the girl pink?)

Dredging up this old post because I truly believe there is a correlation between fall flooding (and early winter for that matter) and low elevation snowfall. News stories abound recently implicating Mayor Nickels' primary loss and snowfall/icing in downtown.

There has been no fall flooding (except maybe on the skokomish) that I'm aware of around the puget sound region. I'm going way out on a limb to predict there will be no lowland snowfall. Sorry.

btw. If '09/'10 was an El Nino I'll take El Nino every year please.

Any correlation between el Nino/la Nina and probability of 'Arctic Blast' occurence, typically single digit temps, in the PNW? Last years' Dec 6 event inception came 2-3 weeks earlier than normal, if it is to happen at all. Implications to snow pack safety?
