I read that they have dubbed this year's El Niño "El Gordo". I talked to a 70 yo Dolores River Basin rancher the other day and he said "when winter starts like this it usually just keeps comin and comin". I have scientifically added these two bits of information together and have come up with the result that there is going to be exactly a big shitpile of snow in CO this winter.
Supporting data is that this week was the first time in five or six years that I have had to blow snow from around my house in the San Juans to make room for more.
Waiting to see the outcome of this winter to decide if my deer points get used.I don't have a lot but enough for a decent hunt if theres no big die off
