Does La Nina = Snow in the Northeast?

[spooner]

I was doing some research on the long range weather for the Rockies and the Northeast for this season. Some preliminary forecasts seem to point toward a normal to slightly above normal snow year with slightly above average temps. Does this make sense in a La Nina year? What do you guys think is in store this season?

I think itll be relatively average for you guys back east, with average temps as well. Supposedly la nina's really help out the northern rockies resorts north of the I-70 line, so Im hoping Jackson gets hammered.

Yes, although it's technically La Niña (pronounced "neenya").
