The full blown El Nino isn't even here yet, from what I've read. January, February. I've noticed some knee discomfort that I've related to the cold recently. We will see what happens when it warms up a little.

LOL! I was just curious if others were noticing, because I am blaming it on El Nino. If that is true, I can't be the only one. It is funny because so many people move here for the weather.

Yep, that is what they are saying. Maybe a good time to head up to Michigan for a while.

This El Nino is going out with a bang I believe. Don't quote me on this but I think La Nina is supposed to start next year some time after winter ends.

We haven't even begun to feel the effects of El Niño yet. Based on the fact that it's already the latter part of December, and nothing significant has happened in the weather so far, I think the El Niño part is all in your head as a result of the effects from it being hyped up by the National Blather Service & the media. Chances are it might be a MEDICAL issue which is causing your arthritis pain. Gee, imagine that: a medical condition which is actually attributed to a medical reason instead of an overly exaggerated weather phenomenon.

Seriously, this so called "super strong El Niño" is bogus, and I have doubts that we'll have anything noteworthy in January or February other than our normal winter rains. As you might know by now, I have a keen interest in weather/climatology ... and based on historical data, this El Niño has been a bust for us and California thus far because we would usually have an increased frequency in storm systems by now. The bulk of the moisture so far has gone to far northern CA, Oregon, and Washington ... and that region was predicted to have somewhat below average precipitation this season. So much for long range outlooks!

The weather pattern we're currently in is more like what we see in a La Niña pattern. El Niño has been a huge let down so far this season!

What I thought was strange about this year was that at least from my memory, we got no rain or storms in August like usual in Phoenix... I moved back to Tucson in late August and it was like September/October it rained for 2-3 weeks straight, everyday with overcast (I thought only the PNW was like that??) and then it has been sunny ever since. A couple days of rain a week ago before I went back up to Phoenix and since I've seen a couple cloudy days...
