I doubt it. El Nino means hot and dry in the midwest and cold and snowy in the south.

Not always. Modoki is supposed to mean the snowy, supposedly. I've had so many bad el-nino years here that yielded little to no snow. Except for what I can remember as 2014-15, which was a weak. Anything moderate or strong and it's nothing unless it's NC.
 
09/10 was an El Nino winter, although I forgot which type. And it was pretty good.

I know the most recent Nino was bad though, but I thought it was because it was very strong.
 
This was Beech Mountain December 20, 2011

Really bad year for NC skiing. If I remember correctly they had to close the slopes a month or two ahead of schedule FB1E7C2A-3042-4408-AD1C-CCFCABBB7078.jpeg
 
I am going to be in the Twin Cities this weekend through Christmas. My first time in MN. Going to Mall of America which should be interesting the weekend before Christmas. Hoping for some snow !

2009/2010 was a moderate El Nino if I'm not mistaken, but you're right I don't see anything good coming from an El Nino as intense as strong like we had in 2015/2016.

Yeah I forget 2009/10 was a decent winter after all here and across a lot of GA. I'm just hoping for a good winter and there is at least some chance from what I can see, but if we get put deep in the freezer it may be more difficult except for clippers.

That's what mother nature does best... hits us with the "what might have been" moments. It never ends
