The strong El Nino pattern appears to be maintaining the mild autumn weather pattern into November and delaying the onset of winter. Correlations with strong EL Nino patterns of the past suggests a greater liklihood of warmer than normal temperatures continuing through the winter, along with below normal snowfall. But it would be highly unlikely that we'd be snowfree through November.. Since 1872, there have been only two Novembers without at least 1 cm of snow for the month (1928 and 1939) The last strong El Nino in 1997, Winnipeg recorded 17 cm of snow in November, but it was all gone by the end of the month with only a trace left on the ground. December 1997 was very mild and dry with only 7 cm of snow the whole month, and only a trace of snow on the ground at Christmas. This shows that we will still get snowfall in El Nino years, but the mild temperatures prevents it from accumulating much, at least in the early part of the winter. Hopefully that's the case this year as well. The longer we can put off snow on the ground, the greater the chance of a mild winter. <br /><br />I will be updating my blog with a new post this afternoon with more info. robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-52154738450071063892015-10-30T09:45:52.493-05:002015-10-30T09:45:52.493-05:00Hey Rob,

A strong El Nino favours warmer than normal temperatures through the winter for us, with below normal snowfall as the jet stream steers to our north. It doesn't mean a complete lack of cold or snow.. just less frequency of those episodes occurring over the winter. <br /><br />For the record, this El Nino is looking like the strongest since 1997, which resulted in the 2nd warmest winter on record over southern MB. robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01577519556216420480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33386160.post-34216625024580750642015-10-22T06:06:53.174-05:002015-10-22T06:06:53.174-05:00Hi rob I think a few people are wondering what you...Hi rob I think a few people are wondering what your predictions will be for our upcoming winter Season. With this El NiƱo in effect what can we expect for Winnipeg and western Manitoba like Brandon?

I came home to find my wood stack pushed over and a large Rubbermaid deck box (4 ft x 3ft) completely exploded and contents lying all over the backyard.
