La Niña
A reader made a tongue-in-cheek observation about my last post, “Quantities of Quail,” observing: “Tell-tale sign of long snowy winter!!”
Tongue-in-cheek or not, winter has been on our minds a lot lately. Last week, Don read an article on how a La Niña event might cause a snowier-than-usual winter across the northern U.S.
The trouble with many winter forecast predictions is that Idaho falls into something of a dead zone. There are predictions for the Pacific Northwest, New England, the Atlantic coast, the mid-Atlantic Mountains, the Great Lakes region, the Northern Plains, and other regional designations … but none of them really cover the “Inland Northwest,” which is what we are. The Pacific Northwest tends to “stop” east of the Cascades, and the Northern Plains doesn’t include anything west of the Bitterroots, so our specific area gets glossed over quite a bit.
However for the La Niña forecast, it specifically did include Idaho: “Pacific Northwest (Washington, Oregon, Idaho) usually turns wetter than average, with strong storms and heavy mountain snow.”
The Farmer’s Almanac confirms the prediction: “The season’s coldest temperatures will be found from the Northern Plains to New England. Readers in the Northwest should also prepare for a cold winter, especially in Idaho and Washington.”
So whether the weather can be predicted by the quantities of quail, or the quantity of wild fruit, or the thickness of the stripes on woolly-bear caterpillars, or La Niña, or any other index, we’re putting up firewood.
