The official forecast from the Climate Prediction Center - "Favors the continuation of borderline ENSO-neutral/weak El-Nino conditions into the Northern Hemishphere winter 2012-13, with the possibility of strengthening during the next few months."
How does the above statement equate to how much snow will fall on your favorite ski/board haunts? Well, to answer that question, you have to play the averages. For a well written web site on the subject go to:
In a summary:
Out of the last 8 weak to moderate El Nino years, on average, the cascade mountains received about 5-10% less snow fall than normal. If the statistics and forecast for a weak to moderate El Nino hold true, Stevens should receive around 400” of snow this season.
