Ann: June 2023 Quarterly Report, page-35

Correction to my above post- this is a more accurate description of the likely effects of el nino on North America.

"Winter 2023-24

Most El Niños hit their peak in late fall or winter and thus have their strongest influence on weather patterns in the colder months.

The classic El Niño winter is rather warm from Alaska into western and central Canada and then into the northern tier of states from the Pacific Northwest to the western Great Lakes.

It tends to be colder and wetter than average through much of the southern U.S., particularly from Texas to the Carolinas.We found thatsome cities in the Southwest, Southern Plains and mid-Atlantic have their snowiest winters during El Niño".
