There seems to be a lot of questions about the potential for snow next winter from the Carolinas northward through the Northeast. There was no mention in the piece about this region because quite simply, the relationship between El Nino and weather/climate is not very strong.  The Climate Prediction Center does have a webpage that shows U. S. seasonal composites of temperature, precipitation, and snowfall that may be of interest.  However, there is no level of significance associated with these composites, other than the frequency with which these departures have occurred in the past.  These figures do show a tendency for snowier El Nino winters in the mid-Atlantic and the Northeast.
