I've read a couple of predictions recently of heavy snow in the Sierras this
coming Winter due to the El Nino in the Pacific.  Has anyone else heard
anything similar, or have experience from prior El Nino years?  Does El Nino
normally result in a heavy snow pack?

I don't know anything about predictions for the Sierra, but El Nino years
typically result in smaller snowpacks in Washington because the jetstream
often splits and runs storms to the north and south of us.
