So there might already be a thread for this, but I haven't found one.

2 years ago we had an El Nino and this year we had a La Nina. Whats your guys predictions for what the snow's gonna be like next season? Any official rulings or is it too early to tell?

La Nina, according to this article could possibly extend into the 2012 northern hemisphere winter, so I would assume it will be a great year, though not as absurd as 2011

The English season has been total horseshit. We did have a bit of a dump in November but throught December and the start of January we only had showers. Pretty much the end of the season was Jan 9th.

Farmer's Almanac says La Nina is peacing this season. If not, it's influence will be significantly less.

The majority of the western united states will experience average snowfall. The east coast is predicted to have a VERY wet winter whilst central northern US is expected to get shat on by the snow gods.

This is only the prediction of the Farmers Almanac which, by no means, is 100% accurate. Simply predictions, but it's a good place to start to give you a decent understanding and outlook of how the season will be.
Also notice the print date of the article is August 2010...

I remember viewing a CNN report and reading a few articles (back in nov. 2010) stating that the La Nina is probable to turn into some super strong ultra La Nina for the winter of 11/12. let's hope they were right...

it's the surface temperature anomalies' of the ocean. When it's La Nina it's colder, El Nino is well warmer.

long vid but explains it well

Joel from CPF posted something about this near the end of last season and he did pretty damn well with predictions this season so i trust him...couldnt find the post though, i think i remember it saying something about la nina like weather patterns returning after a strong la nina, like last season, about 50% of the time, for colorado at least

these weather nerds seem like they are herding cats- their predictions are unsure, varied and all over the map.
time will tell.

I do now ha!
All I saw was "Winter 2011 Outlook." Wondered why the print date was August 2010.
Meh either way, in my other "research," people were saying that La Nina won't be around another year.
So fingers crossed, hope for the best. The only way to know for sure is to wait.
