Some kids on NS are absolute dumbfucks when it comes to weather. Also. Fuck La Niña. Although, I'm fine with it since we just had El Niño and it treated CA wonderfully.

I don't know very much about the weather, how does la nina differ from el nino and what does that mean for east coast skiers?

For CO we will have less powder days but more snow overall. down in Denver it won't snow very much but then out of nowhere it will dump.

El Nina = BUENO

El Nino/La Nina is a average temperature bump... Nino = warmer Nina = cooler. So if your area benefits from colder temps in terms of precip, than you should benefit, this does not mean its beneficial everywhere.
"El Niño would cause a dry period in the Midwestern U.S., while La Niña would typically cause a wet period in this area."
They also mirror one another, if Nino is particularly harsh, Nina should be as well.

West coast had our el nino this year/ It basically makes a super early season snow dumpage (ours started early november) and then dies and gets sunny, making low elevation resorts turn to dirt and high elevation resorts turn to slush and ice for the majority of the season.

and the east coast el nino lags about a season behind, so your season is about the be ruined if you live there.

oh yeah dont mind my other post, I guess there is a big difference between la nina and el nino. But the thing about el nino ski seasons on east and west coast is still true.
