According to NOAA's most recent discussion on the subject that came out yesterday, it sounds like there is a very good chance that this winter sees La Nina's influence again.

Pray for lots of snow.

That would be awesome. It seems like almost everyone had a banger winter last year as a result of La Nina.

"The better model performance, combined with the historical tendency for significant La Niña episodes (as in 2010-11) to be followed by relatively weaker La Niña episodes, leads to increased confidence that La Niña will persist into the winter. While it is not yet clear what the ultimate strength of this La Niña will be, La Niña conditions have returned and are expected to gradually strengthen and continue into the Northern Hemisphere winter 2011-12."

hopefully true

well for one thing a La Nina or El Nino has VERY little influence on the winter in europe as it relates to the temperatures of the pacific ocean, which is nowhere near there.

I was lucky enough to ski everyday the slopes were open so I got all the powder days... The best one was only about 2 foot around christmas time. Hoping for a better one this year!

long story short, the pacific ocean is colder than "normal" on a la nina year, so the water that evaporates off of it is cooler, therefore, more likely to accumulate as snow instead of rain in the winter time.

something like that
