El Nino Is Dead–Long Live No Nino

Source: BizarroComics.com
The borderline El Nino event that was thought to be a possibility a couple of months ago (see Oct 5 and Sep 12 posts) appears to be toast.  The Climate Prediction Center officially cancelled the El Nino watch last week and expects ENSO-neutral conditions through the winter.  In other words, this is likely to be a No Nino winter.  Click here for the gory details.

And thank goodness for that, not because it means anything in terms of what to expect this winter, but because I won't have to hear people mindlessly blaming every weather event on El Nino.  I guess now they can blame it on the absence of El Nino.
