It’s 60° today in Boston and we just survived a ton of rain known as a cyclone. Yes we’ve heard of El Niño I’m just wondering where the hell the snows at. I live in New England aI grew up with snow storms where are they?
I live in northern Alberta, every year theres an el nino, we don't get any snow. Because its too warm for snow. Its +2°C today. Or 35°F. You're not getting any snow because it melts on the way down and falls as rain? I'm confused how you think you're going to get snow when its 60°F/15°C out. How are you going to get a snow storm.
I'm absolutely onboard with human caused climate change, but this reminds me of the time Leonardo DiCaprio came to Calgary to film The Revenant and had a great big freak out over a chinook. Called it evidence of climate change because the temperature climbed from -8°C to +16°C in 2 hours. Chinooks have been a part of life in that area for thousands of years. Chinook is a first nations word. Had nothing to do with climate change, just ignorance.
So when people freak out this year (during an El Nino event) because its uncharacteristically warm, I have to wonder if they just don't know whats up.
My kids are five and six years old. We’ve lived in New England their whole life has it been El Niño for the past five years straight? No? Didn’t think so.

Le sigh. Nobody's heard of El Nino?
