El Nino Pattern May Start Next Winter, Meaning a Snowier and Colder Pattern for the Southeast



The past two winters have been La Nina patterns. It is pretty rare to have back to back La Nina patterns. It's not unheard of, but it would be extremely rare to have 3 back to back La Nina patterns. Most likely, I expect an El Nino pattern to start, as early as summer. This would be a totally different winter than this one. A La Nina Pattern averages above average temperatures and dry conditions, while an El Nino pattern averages more snowfall and cold weather. This is great weather if you are a snow lover, like I am. I think if all the factors really come together next winter, it will blow away this winter, and maybe even last winter. I would like the El Nino pattern to be strong, rather than weak.
