Part 5/8:
One defining feature of La Niña winters is an increase in precipitation across many regions, though it manifests in varied forms such as rain, snow, sleet, or freezing rain. This increased activity doesn't necessarily mean heavy rainfall everywhere, but rather that the total amount of precipitation—regardless of form—is likely to be above normal.
- General Trend: Historically, La Niña conditions tend to bring wetter-than-normal winters. This often results in above-average snowfall, especially in northern and mountainous areas, although exact snowfall depends heavily on temperatures.
