First, apologies for those who are subbed to both Pc lists & get this twice.
I just found a wonderful document yesterday on the Web, which describes
several of the major climatic oscillations that determine weather patterns
over North America, including the El Nino/La Nina, the Quasi-Biennial
Oscillation (upper atmosphere winds), and solar cycles. For those of us
seeking to understand the patterns of our weather and climate and hoping to
plan longer-term, I think it makes an excellent read:

other things, satellite and radar maps updated hourly. If you go in this
way, look for links to Dr. Dewpoint and/or El Nino.
