The BRRR... is back

As Fall rolls into full swing here in the Kootenays, one's mind drifts to thoughts of skiing. With this one thinks of what the winter will be like.  We all know the predictions of an El Nino winter for 23/24.   Here is what Peter Geiger of the Famers' Almanac says about our upcoming season.  
 

2023-24 snow forecast for Western Canada

"Despite climate change, wildfires and the return of El Niño, the snow forecast is actually looking pretty decent for 2023/24.  We should have more traditional winter weather in Canada this winter. There are some heavy doses of snow [coming], which will be good for skiing. I think skiers and snowboarders in Western Canada will be pretty delighted this winter.  Big picture: we can expect a more typically cold winter for Western Canada, with average to above average (at times) snowfall across Alberta and BC."

Personally, I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
