Here in the Pacific Northwest the El Nino/ La Nina impact on snow pack seems to hold this time around.  I intentionally did not buy a downhill ski pass due to the El Nino prediction (I'm enjoying cross country instead.)  However as I recall we had a fair amount of snow in early 2016 even with a strong El Nino.  The year prior 2015 had very little snow: it was warm as if the predicted El Nino had come.
