Here's a way too early look at potential analogues for this winter.

Winters included in the list below were either cold neutral or La Ninas (as this winter is forecast to be) and were proceeded by two winters which were either warm neutral or El Ninos, as the past two have been. Using this criteria, I ended up with these winters…

1901-02
1905-06
1915-16
1920-21
1931-32
1942-43
1954-55
1959-60
1970-71
1978-79
1992-93
1995-96
2005-06

Using these analogues I averaged out monthly mean temps and snowfall for November thru March (for Vancouver)....

Nov: 6.0C, 2.3cm
Dec: 3.9C, 7.8cm
Jan: 1.9C, 30.9cm
Feb: 4.2C, 13.5cm
Mar: 5.8C, 5.7cm
Total winter snowfall @YVR: 60.2cm

Keep in mind this list is focusing purely on ENSO conditions and not taking into accounts other factors such as the previous year's ENSO intensity (some were moderate/strong Ninos), QBO phase or low/high solar. I believe this winter is forecast to have a +QBO and we are still in a low solar phase so this list will undoubtedly be trimmed when taking either or both factors into account.

Looks great for skiing. I wonder what how the mountains will run the skiing operations. Limit day tickets? Put up signs to distance in the line? Only people that are in your bubble in the lift? Limited lodge operations?
Why not try cycling to work, grocery store, anywhere!

The people who are wearing a mask while driving to prevent Covid are the same people who wear a condom while driving so they don't get an STD.
