Will it snow this winter?

Last Thursday we were told by the national weather administration that the U.S. was headed for its second La Niña winter in a row. The video below explains what it might mean for winter temperature, precipitation, drought conditions and of course our precious snow! 

For us in Utah, the temperature is likely to be warmer than average, which isn’t good, while snow precipitations will show equal chances, that is to say the same, or as mediocre, as last year. Finally, our exceptional drought will continue to dominate the western half of the continental U.S. which simply is bad news. 

Will all my heart, I hope this forecast is dead wrong. I’ll try to compare it to reality next April!
