New England, especially the northern part (northern Vermont & New Hampshire, and most of Maine) is likely to have above-average temperature during winter. Although there is not much effect on precipition, what little there is would be toward low-average or below average. Because of the likely warmer-than-average temperature, a little more of the precipitation would be expected to be rain than snow or other types of frozen precipitation. Of course none of these tendencies are a guarantee. What the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO) does will exert greater weight on the climate than ENSO, and the NAO has very little predictability; ENSO has much greater predictability, especially now that we're well into summer.
