La Nina fades to black yellow

la-nina-mom.pngThe scientist who watches weather data at Bad Mom, Good Mom says the evidence is in. The La Nina phenomenon that was supposed to be keeping us relatively dry this winter has faded earlier than many expected. The climate watchers don't say that based on a little rain, like we had today. It's all about storm tracks and the water temperatures in the Pacific down by Peru. "Hopefully, the abatement of la Nina will bring relief to flood-stricken Australia," she blogs.
