El Nino 2010: Small, medium, large…or wanna-be?

by Kit Stolz January 15, 2010

The infamous El Niño, bringer of warm winters and rain to Southern California, is back, the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration says, and thanks to a surprisingly wet November, we’re still ahead of normal in our total rainfall for this water year.
