October was a little wetter than average in these parts. November looks like it's going to be a little drier than average, which is what I was referring to. Overall a pretty average two month period, but definitely not "wet".

Hopefully this winter ends up being a classic. I think it very well could given what we’re seeing right now.

2016--17

Much of OR has definitely been in a dry slot this rainy season so far. But wouldn't characterize this as a dry fall for the PNW overall.

ENSO isn’t the end all be all for a winter. Bad patterns exist in La Niñas and good patterns in El Niños. Hopefully we get a good pattern when it really matters
