As winter enthusiasts revel in fresh powder, the latest snowfall reports bring exciting news from the highlands.

Forecast models point to an anticipated snow bonanza in California over the next 24-48 hours. Nohrsc Green Mtn is projected to top the charts with a staggering 81 inches of snow, while other areas like Nohrsc Graveyard Meadow and Upper Burnt Corral Meadow are not far behind, each expecting around 80 inches.

Whether it's the deep powder of Colorado, the fresh flakes of Michigan, or the impending snowstorms of California, there's something for every snow lover in this week's reports.

Oceanic Niño Index (ONI) - La Nina Cooling Phase

The Oceanic Niño Index (ONI) is a rolling 3-month average temperature anomaly, and used for tracking El Niño-Southern Oscillation climate patterns. Based on the latest data for the last 3 months (NDJ), the Oceanic Nino Index is currently -0.53, signifying a La Nina period. A persistent above average sea surface temperature may signify an El Niño episode. Conversely, a below average sea surface temperature will signal the onset of La Nina occurences.
