El Nino means less snow for Hanover

Meteorologists are predicting abnormally light snowfall for the winter, due to worldwide weather disturbances caused by El Nino -- the term for an unusual warming in part of the Pacific Ocean. El Nino will likely leave Hanover with 25 percent less snowfall then normal, according to National Weather Service meteorologist Bob Thompson. During an El Nino, the water in the tropical pacific ocean off the coast of Peru is unusually warm.
