Godzilla El Niño = Warm, dry, very little snowpack and very little wind over the entire winter. The jet stream will park over Southern California and they will get hammered with our storms. We need La Niña to return with cooler sea surface temperatures. The winter of 98-99 still goes down as the windiest and snowiest season on record. 3 days per week on average of 20+ knots at Boundary Bay from November to March and a 700 cm base at Cypress by the end of February :shock: The funny thing was it was preceded by the strongest El Niño on record 97-98. Fingers crossed that next winter delivers snow and wind :D

No kidding. They need Biblical type rains to get back in the green!

I really hope this prediction is wrong. I don't want to wait until next winter for snow and wind. Long term strategy might be fine for investments but it is little comfort when waiting for the next kite session.
