The predictions are for a La Nina weather pattern this year, which may mean that California, Utah, and Colorado get somewhat less snow than usual. These years tend to be better for the Northern Rockies, as well as Northern New England.
La Nina and El Nino are names for the patterns of ocean temperature near the equator. That creates jet streams that carry storms into the mainland, and are somewhat predictable, when those conditions are known. Most seasons though do not have Nina or Nino present though.
