Looks lovely! Although this says rain is 2 miles away when in reality its misting everywhere.

Speak for yourself. Bone dry and overcast here.

Good weather returns tomorrow. I'm glad we got meaningful rain today though. At least this depressing overcast wasn't pointless

If we go into a super strong Nino, then it's going to be tough to pull off anything resembling a classic winter, imo. A more borderline moderate/strong Nino wouldn't be ideal either, but you'd rather roll the dice with that compared to a stronger one. If we follow a typical Nino playbook progression, then the odds of a better stretch of winter wx would tend to be later on in winter when the Nino is weakening. December is often a bit hostile or an outright disaster in stronger Ninos, though not always.
