I go to Turns All Year. They have all the weather info hooked up.

So far the snowpack is very low this year.

 

See here:

Which fits in line with the NOAA forecast. See here:

http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/analysis_monitoring/enso_advisory/

AND HERE

http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/analysis_monitoring/enso_advisory/advfig5.html

 

 

And fits the long range forecast which is here:

http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/analysis_monitoring/enso_advisory/advfig6.html

 

Bottom line. I think we will 60%-70% average snowpack compared to normal. Somewhat similar to the 2002-2003 year and I think the 2000-2001 year but not quite sure...

 

I sure hope my guess is wrong--I would rather see more snow.

Highway 20 has been closed. It may be temporary, or may not.
