Winter Weather Outlook: Will Boise See Another Snowmaggeddon?Get ready for potentially another snowy winter! Last year's snowfall total of 36.9 inches in Boise surpassed even the infamous Snowmaggeddon winter of 2016-17. And with a La Nina weather pattern looming, the stage is set for above-normal precipitation and below-normal temperatures.La Nina's Impact: A Snowy TrendHistorically, La Nina winters have brought significant snowfall to Boise. In the past 25 years: 13 winters have seen above-normal snowfall (over 17.6 inches). 9 of those winters were La Nina years. Only 6 winters have exceeded 30 inches of snow, with 4 being La Nina years.While it's unlikely to match the last two winters' impressive totals (36.9" and 31.1"), the odds favor above-normal snowfall.Plan Ahead for a Winter WonderlandWith a good ski season and potentially slick valley roads on the horizon, now's the time to prepare: Check your winter gear. Plan for alternative transportation. Get ready for another snowy adventure!Stay tuned for updates, and let's see what winter has in store for Boise!
