Yeah, yeah, I know - I gotta' outgrow that dum-a$$ mental block I have about Whistler......

As for El Nino/La Nina years: http://ggweather.com/enso/oni.htm they don't seem to correlate to the Northeast.  El Nino is supposed to cause weak winters in British Columbia but we had deep snow in mid December at Snowfall Lodge in 2015 (Very Strong El Nino). 

I see some weak El Ninos associated with lousy snow years in the American West: 1977, 2005, 2015. I've never been really too confident of El Nino/La Nina connection with winters though it's been know to be spot on ...... though not always.

As far as I can tell, it's not sure that it will be an El Nino winter.  If the El Nino develops, it seems likely to be a weak El Nino.  Most of what I know comes from this: https://twitter.us18.list-manage.com/track/click?u=92fd2e3ec7962cda008f0732a&id=6a3eb8baf7&e=f3a9e19db3

Please elaborate if you disagree.
