el Nino

el Nino

I have to admit when it comes to weather forecasting it’s all Greek to me, or in this case, Spanish. I’m talking of course about the forecast of El Nino on the way over the next few months. Farmers in California and the drought plagued southern parts of the nation are hoping this means more moisture coming their way. Here in the Pacific Northwest though weather forecasters are predicting El Nino will bring a drier winter, but they’re also quick to point out that this forecast doesn’t necessarily mean that it “will” be dry, it just means there’s a better chance that it “could” be dry. So what they’re really saying is that there’s a fifty/fifty chance of this forecast being correct; which is pretty much the norm for predicting weather patterns. I’m kind of an old fashioned girl when it comes to things like the weather; if I get up in the morning and the ground is wet it probably means I need my umbrella. But then I was raised in Kansas where you could experience rain, sleet, snow and sunshine all between your house and your mailbox. Guess when it comes to the weather we can take our cue from the pros and just wait and see.
