I just read over the Dec 6th El Nino discussion from the International Climate Prediction Center:
If you want the whole discussion go to:
http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/analysis_monitoring/enso_advisory/ensodisc.pdf
The one sentence that means the most to us is -
…it is considered unlikely that a fully coupled El Niño will develop during the next several months. ENSO-neutral is now favored through the Northern Hemisphere winter 2012-13 and into spring 2013.
Summary: The PNW will have a “normal” winter with average temperature and average amounts of precipitation. Normal has been pretty good so far.
