GODZILLA El Niño is 'heading towards California this winter': Forecast suggests mega-weather event could be biggest since records began and bring with it some epic rain (but not enough to end the drought) Now all forecasts show above 90% probability of strong El Niño this year It even looks set to smash records, according to NOAA Climate Center But it still won't be enough to atone for 4 years of record-breaking drought In fact, the dry cracked land will struggle to withstand three-month storm

All these super scary weather names :O

Whatever happened to the blastogenesis winter we were supposed to have?

What’s next Gorgon Summer where we all turn to stone?

To think that according to the global warming cult a molecular level increase in a single trace gas in the atmosphere has a greater impact on the earth’s climate than El Niño.

However, we are not likely going to have that debacle in December 1997 when Sacramento came within a hair's breadth of very severe flooding from the American and Sacramento River overflowing its banks.

After that debacle, the US Bureau of Reclamation completely changed its procedures on opening the spillways at Folsom Dam and Natomas Dam and the flood gates at Sacramento Weir. As such, if we suddenly have a lot of rain the spillways will be opened much earlier and will be like what happened in the winter of 2010-2011, when 200% normal rain did not cause any flood danger issues in the Sacramento, CA area (though there was just a tad too many small tornadoes touching down in the Central Valley that winter).

Or, it might fizzle out.

Any predictive article with could is about as scientific as sticking one's wet finger in the air and predicting rain.

One thing about El Niño is that it will be followed by La Niña a year or so later. Then, those same weatherologists can proclaim the worse La Niña weather since the planet began spinning.

I’m guessing we’ll be knee-deep in mud and chocking on dust. Maybe the EPA will take control of our rivers.

I wait and see what Joe Bastardi has to say this Saturday. I know he will be talking about it. The last he said was the waters around Australia are not right for the strong winds that are needed for an epic El Nino.

What’s with the weather channel giving names to snowstorms the past few years?? Where’s that coming from??? Does the national weather service name storms the way they name hurricanes or is this something that the weather channel made up???? Perhaps to make the weather seem more dramatic???

Yeah, and we’re also in the middle of a vastly increased hurricane season because of global warming with -uh - maybe two hurricanes so far this year when by now we usually have had about eight.....

Hah, I don’t know. Maybe they started naming winter storms since summer tropical system sem to have disappeared entirely.

If we don’t have named storms coming at us, we might be scared enough to buy into their glowbull warming propaganda.

that started doing that because those affect by Tropical Storms were getting too much attention, you know what they call “those people down South” so to make the East even MORE important they started naming snow storms. It’s just about as stupid as it can be.

Here in AZ we do see much more rain with The Baby so bring it on!

El Nino is a Pacific Ocean weather pattern that has been repeating for millions of years. It's a natural weather pattern but the marxist crazies would have us believe it's "climate change" or "global warming"or whatever name they're going to change it to when their predictions turn out to be false.
