The current El Nino has brought extended wet, cool weather to Idaho in the May->June time frame. The water is welcome, but there isn't enough heat to grow the crops. A shift to La Nina makes the winters wetter and colder. It would be nice to have a normal summer again.

Oh, boy. Everyone here still remembers the winter before last. I picked up on that La Nina forecast last week. Better get the hay in early. And reconcile myself to having to shovel off the stable roof.
The good news is that it keeps the riffraff out.
