Does a strong El Nino during winter mean a snowier than average winter for us? 

I live just outside of Baton Rouge and, in December of 2008 and a few years later, we had about 5-6" of snowfall at our house, while Baton Rouge had barely 1" (amazing the accumulation difference within just 20 miles).  It was beautiful for sure, but stayed on the ground for a few days (had gotten old by then).  Roads were even impassable for a day or so because we don't have snowplows nor road salt.
