Based on the recent temperature readings from the Pacific, the scientist at NOAA believe that the 2015 winter season will be heavily effected by an El Niño. It is still unclear how strong of an El Niño we should expect, but it may be the strongest we have seen since the late 1990's event. According to the National Center for Atmospheric Research, 20-inch snowstorms are almost twice as likely to occur during El Niño years as other years. Most huge storms hit during spring and fall, while mid-winters are relatively cold and dry.
