The United States is bracing itself for snowfall in the winter season of 2023-24. The winter season may be dreadful for some folks due to snowstorms which cause a lot of hardships including loss of lives. Meanwhile, in some parts of the US, people look up to the season for adventure opportunities and winter sports.
As per a report by DailyMotion and AccuWeather, El Nino will play a major role in the winter, this year. According to AccuWeather's lead long-range expert Paul Pastelok, "a strong El Nino favours less precipitation and higher temperatures in the northwest. While in the mid-west and interior north-east, snow amounts in frequency are expected to run below historical averages."
