Will El Niño live up to its reputation and deliver us a warm, dry winter? Probably. But…..there’s something else going on in the ocean that could get in El Nino’s way. Here’s a closer look at Rural Roots Canada: www.ruralrootscanada.com/will-el-nino...

Will El Niño deliver a warm, dry winter? It’s not that simple |

El Nino suggests a warm, dry winter ahead. But there's a complication, and it could change that forecast
