I saw in the past blog that wetter than average autumns can be the norm in La Nina, referring to the October atmospheric river that hit Northern California.  This recent heavy Sierra snowfall, and possibly continued snowfall, has been quite a welcome surprise for this layman reader following the blog.  However, this snowfall still seems to follow the normal model of La Nina, correct?  The real test (for those of us that like to see snow beat the models, for purposes of winter/summer recreation) seems to be coming in January and on?

Love reading the blogs, great work!
