A strong El Nino could limit snowfall and cold temperatures this winter. Nutrien atmospheric scientist Eric Snograss says a typical El Nino pattern could leave drought stricken areas of the Northern Plains short on moisture. “I’m not really sure that this El Nino is gonna do typical El Nino things because it is the biggest and baddest one we’ve ever seen so there’s a bit of a caveat on that forecast.” Snodgrass wants farmers to prepare for a potentially mild winter while keeping in mind that the forecast could change.
