With all the fire activity of the past two years down in So Cal, ya'll will beg & really plead that El Nino never came.

No worries. I've got some pretty good rain jackets and a sweet pair of gators.
Besides, what would wilderness be without a little "wild"? Heck, I've even been thinking about starting a new sport: Mud Surfing. Simply wait until the rains come, grab your nearest boogie board or surfboard (sans skeg), and try your luck at the nearest mudslide. There should be plenty of slopes to choose from, and depending on the severity of everything, we might even get some good "mud waves" coming through the flood channels.
Seriously, though, a wet winter would be a good thing for the reservoirs. And that's NO JOKE.

And how. All the tinajas on Bridge Mt are empty; that's not normal for this time of year. Vegas is at about 30-40% of the normal rainfall (which isn't much anyway).
Yeah, I'm wondering when we will start to see some moisture in AZ. It was a really dry summer and its been a dry year. There is all this talk of an El Nino and water falling from the sky, but it has yet to happen. Funny thing, the NWS gets all excited about an El Nino, but they themselves state, in the Flagstaff discussion about El Ninos, that an El Nino has a 50/50 chance of being wetter or drier than normal. The last one was really dry, the one before that really wet. It makes no sense. Why get so excited about something which has a 50/50 chance?

Got a link for that? I'm guessing it's because they set the mean to zero but hard to tell based on what you've said.

I guess you'd have to change precipitation to snow fall. I watched that a long time ago and had forgotten it. I want a wet winter, but I'll believe it when I see it.
Interesting note, this is the driest year to date in Flagstaff.
