Ah I see your in Canada! Your post read like one of those doom mongering winter articles that you see every year without fail in the trashy news papers

Only in Canada for the winter , primarily because decades ago I got sick of Christmas in the UK looking more like a rainy October than a proper Winter Christmas, so I decided to spend every Winter in guaranteed snow from then on. You just cant beat throwing the curtains back on Christmas morning and it actually looking like a winter wonderland.

Lol, for me it would be a great winter rather than a doom one. The extreme cold is my jam :), it wont get anywhere near to Canadian Rockies cold this winter in the UK but with a very strong El Nino in effect for the first time in quite a while, it should be a much rougher, colder winter than recent memory.

(Sadly, the strong El Nino does mean that it wont be as cold as usual in Western Canada)

It wont be a mild winter in the UK this winter, it will be cold, very wet/snowy and extremely stormy. Its not only going to be an El Nino winter this year (the first proper El Nino for 5 years) its going to be a Very strong El Nino. I'd say brace yourself for a very rough, turbulent, cold winter, maybe even like something we've not seen for a very long time indeed. I'd not be surprised to see a winter in the UK the likes of which I've not seen since pre-2000 winters.

Sounds like it could be one of the worst winters since time began if this El Nino happens like they say, no doubt the Daily Express will soon go about Arctic Blasts.

There are several aspects (unusual areas of ocean warming for instance) of the setup going into this winter though which are leaving even experienced weather people scratching their heads - looks like it could produce quite a potent hurricane season a little off the timeline from the regular hurricane season as well. Difficult to say at this point whether the setup will have any effect on the El Nino effect.

EDIT:

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has increased its 2023 Atlantic hurricane season from “near normal” to “above normal.”

They only revised it up after other organisations were predicting it and the pattern now leaning heavily towards it though...

Makes sense you usually get a worse hurricane season with an El Nino, due to the weather effects on the eastern half of the US.

It wont be one of the worst since time began, especially for me as I'm used to temperatures of minus 40 in the winter anyway, but it will be a worse winter in the UK than we've since in a while, which will no doubt equate in the British media and Climate Change folks as the worst winter since time began of course , for others of us it may just remind us of the winters of the late 70s and early 80s. You know, the ones where we went outside and enjoyed the winter weather or even just stayed in and got on with things, instead of hanging ourselves from the rafters because armageddon had arrived :D

Loved that weather growing up. I remember cars being completely covered and just a small hump in the snow. You could have left the house through the upstairs window, probably would have been easier too.

I think a lot of people are poorly prepared for if we had a proper winter with cold and snow lasting more than a few days, disruption to services and the supply chain, etc. I think the last one of those was around 78 or 79 or something just before I was born.

I've a set of Falken Wildpeak AT3WA and traction boards for my truck, not sure if I'll bother with chains, I won't even bother with the Qashqai if we get snow LOL.

I‘ve got enough tinned soup, beans and fray bentos pies to last me at least a week. Think there’s a few super noodles too. Bring on the blizzards!
