Not much change in La Nina, borderline weak/moderate La Nina. Not a strong La Nina like last winter.

Someone please give me a strong El Nino for a couple winters in a row. That would be nice.

La Niña persists over Pacific
http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/enso/
La Niña conditions continue over the tropical Pacific Ocean. The majority of climate models surveyed by the Bureau suggest this La Niña may be close to its peak, with a gradual decline expected over the remainder of the austral summer and early autumn.
Climate indicators of ENSO continue to exceed La Niña thresholds. Despite some cooling (i.e. strengthening of the La Niña pattern) at the surface of the tropical Pacific over the past fortnight, sea surface temperatures remain less extreme (i.e., warmer) than at the same time in 2010-11. Atmospheric indicators of La Niña also strengthened slightly over the last fortnight, with the Southern Oscillation Index (SOI) monthly December value of +23 being the highest value since the breakdown of the 2010-11 event in autumn 2011. The effects of this La Niña can be seen in Australia, with much of the country receiving above average rainfall since October.
La Niña periods are usually, but not always, associated with above normal rainfall during the second half of the year and summer across large parts of Australia, particularly the eastern and northern regions. Daytime temperatures are typically cooler than average, while there is an increased tropical cyclone risk for northern Australia during the cyclone season (November to April), peaking in February and March. For the cyclone season so far, three tropical cyclones have occurred in the Australian region. For detailed rainfall and temperature outlooks, please see: www.bom.gov.au/climate/ahead.
La Nina is at its peak according to the Australia Bureau of Meteorology.

Looks like it is warming up overall. Many forecast models are saying we should be out of La Nina by spring. We may have El Nino by summer or peak season of August to October.

The warming trend is happening as La Nina is fading. Interestingly, Region 1+2 has warmed up considerably and is in El Nino territory.
http://www.cpc.ncep.noaa.gov/products/a ... ts-web.pdf
Most models are now predicting a weak El Nino by July to August. If true, it would be a first time since 2009 to go from La Nina to El Nino. Winters in those years tend to be cold.

It is only La Nina in Region 4. The rest is Neutral and 1+2 is El Nino. We are pretty much in Neutral.

I didn't read it as being neutral just yet - from the 2/27 pdf:
"• La Niña has peaked across the equatorial Pacific.* Equatorial sea surface temperatures (SST) remain at least 0.5°C below average in the central Pacific, but have warmed considerably across the east-central and eastern Pacific Ocean in the last couple of weeks.
• Atmospheric circulation anomalies remain consistent with La Niña.
• La Niña is expected to transition to ENSO-neutral conditions during March-May 2012.*"
"• The majority of models predict the return of ENSO-neutral (Niño-3.4 SST anomalies between -0.5°C and +0.5°C) during the Northern Hemisphere spring (March-April-May) and continuing through the summer."

maybe not tropical weather, but El Nino does typically yield wet conditions for Houston
