Hi
I read the other posts about South America being awesome in El Nino years. I've just finished an appauling season in Fernie, BC - the worst season in 30 years. Everyone was screaming El Nino at the top of their Canadian voices ... but Tony mentioned it's just co-incidence.
Research about El Nino is difficult to the untrained boarder. So the question is .. is 2005 an El Nino year or not? No site seems to just say Yay or Nay. Surely there's enough evidence thus far to say roughly yes or no?
Basically I've hunted snow for the last 3 years and failed every time. South America 2003 .. awful .. Pyranees 2004-2005 .. worst in 10 years .. Fernie BC, worst in 30 years. I have a huge high pressure above my head. I think I'm going to jinx Japan next season ... wait for the drought ...
Sorry I digress .. are the signs for an El Nino SA winter or not? Any ideas where I can get more info and keep myself posted for long range forecasts for South America? Termas de Chillan is soooo good .....
Happy days,
Bruce
