Does this mean that we here in Southern California could have a normal winter? We have had no perception since February of this year. El Nino as you know gave us no real rain and we are entering our sixth year of sever drought. My wife and I live in the San Bernardino mountains in Lake Arrowhead and we haven't seen a normal winter or a winter at all since 2010-11. The forest is dying the lake levels are dropping to historic lows and it is our main source of drinking water we desperately need rain any chance of a break in this drought?
