Conference calls = lots of snow!
Checking up on a blog I rarely visit while on a boring-as-death conference call, I found the following:

..the National Ocean and Atmospheric Administration said El Nino is likely to develop over North America during the upcoming winter. And Daniels said there is some correlation between El Nino and snowfall in western Colorado. “It allows more storms to come across our area,” he said. The snowiest times will be mid-November, mid-January, mid- and late February and early and mid-March, the almanac says. The almanac says it uses a secret formula devised in 1792 to predict the weather. “Our results are almost always very close to our traditional claim of 80 percent,” the almanac says.

If the biggest dumps come in mid-November, that will make for a heck of an opening day!

I can vouch for the El Nino effect on the ski slopes. The last time I went skiing/snowboarding out west was in 1997 when El Nino was rearing his mexican head. We were at Park City and on the second to last day, got 17 inches of fresh powder. It was awesome!

Secret formula, ehh!?

hehe.. I wonder what that could be!

As long as it means lots of snow - awesome! Can't wait for a ride in the Scooby with 10" of fresh snow! :)
