La Niña is characterized by unusually cold ocean temperatures in the Equatorial Pacific, compared to El Niño, which is characterized by unusually warm ocean temperatures.
This is the second consecutive La Niña winter. Last year’s episode was atypically short, forming in November 2016 and gone by February 2017.
It seems that the upcoming La Niña of 2017–2018 is going to be weak and relatively short-lived, too. The equatorial waters of the eastern and central Pacific are only slightly cooler than usual, which means that the effects of La Niña are expected to be weaker.
To help you out with your icemelt needs during La Niña, XYNYTH’s Mountain Organic Natural Icemelter™ is specifically designed to melt ice and snow effectively, while posing no risk to users, pets, concrete or the environment, when used as directed. Other icemelters that work fast under harsh winter conditions, but are safer for the planet, are Arctic ECO Green Icemelter™ and Winter Warrior Runway Control™. So stay warm and stay safe during this winter!
