A La Niña winter is coming. Here’s what that could mean for the US
La Niña is a natural climate pattern that influences global weather marked by cooler than average ocean temperatures in the equatorial Pacific.
The entire northern tier of the US is expected to end up wetter than normal this winter, especially the Pacific Northwest, Midwest and parts of the interior Northeast. Wet weather will be crucial to combat ongoing dryness and drought in the Midwest.
More precipitation than normal doesn’t guarantee there will be more snow. Temperatures still have to be chilly enough both above and at the surface for snow to fall and stick to the ground.

The season is expected to be warmer than normal across almost the entire southern half of the US and much of the East. This could mean some winter storms in parts of the East end up wetter, rather than snowier. But with drier and warmer than normal conditions expected across the South, drought conditions could worsen throughout the season.

Same, r2.
Unless I don’t have to drive or shovel it. Then it’s ok, I guess.
Ice storms and sleet can fuck all the way off, tho.

Snow is great. I would love a snowy NYC winter, unlike last year where we got like five flakes. But freezing rain is a fucking nightmare so I hope it's not three months of that bullshit.
