Well, the combination of climate change and La Nina is likely tilting the odds in favor of warm weather in northern Georgia. The latest U.S. Winter Outlook from the CPC (more on that on the ENSO Blog in a couple weeks!) indicates that a warmer- and drier-than-normal winter is favored for the southern U.S., including Georgia, and La Nina is a major player in this forecast. However, that certainly doesn't rule out the possibility of some cold and snowy periods. For much of the South, all it takes is one storm to reach average snowfall for the season. That's likely why we do not see a significant impact of La Nina on winter snowfall for the region, as shown in Dr. Stephen Baxter's guest post.
