El Nino Weather

Here in the Pacific Northwest we are experiencing El Nino weather.

What is an El Nino?

"An El Niño is a temporary change in the climate of the Pacific ocean, in the region around the equator. You can see its effects in both the ocean and atmosphere, generally in Northern Hemisphere winter. Typically, the ocean surface warms up by a few degrees celsius. At the same time, the place where hefty thunderstorms occur on the equator moves eastward. Although those might seem like small differences, it nevertheless can have big effects on the world's climate."

Today, Tom and I just had to get out and enjoy the weather.

We went to a local winery and I wasn't the only one with a camera!
