Unfortunately for California and the brutal wildfires we are experiencing, La does look like it has affected our winter pattern and January precipitation looks bleak right now. I am already starting to think about ENSO next year. Too long a lead time with the models for any reliance. But if we went with the CFSv2 at this time we are looking at  ENSO neutral year next year. I can't remember the last time we've had one of those and haven't had many over the last decade. Just think about the contributors here for once talking about how much ENSO is not going to factor into weather.
