If that is indeed the case, I guess that people in Indianapolis and in many other Midwestern cities should consider getting prepared for a potentially brutal winter season in terms of cold and snow, which would be fine by me, at least for the prospect for heavy snow/ice storms,on the other hand, a potentially brutally cold winter season would mean the potential for exorbitant heating bills, but given the fact that I've gotten to enjoy two back to back tame and fairly mild winter seasons, I guess I really don't have much of a right to gripe and complain, after all, the odds of a 3rd mild winter in a row would be very unlikely, although probably not unheard of.

However, at least for me (Pittsburgh), weak La niña usually brings quite a bit of snow. Our highest seasonal snowfall totals are from weak la nina years. Problem being that the temperatures are highly variable, so as per usual, time will tell.
That's just it, La Nina's depending on their strength can bring a lot of snow and wild swings in temps....
Current SST map. I can still see a weak West Based or Modoki El Nino possibly this autumn, but there is cooling in the eastern equatorial Pacific for sure.
I don't put much stock in these long range forecasts, but if it does happen Jan 2009 was 4F below average for us here. Cold without much snow. I would be happier with that than cold with lots of snow.

Usually but not always there is more snow with La Ninas in the Midwest,/Great Lakes, and New England. Less from New York City on south on the East Coast.
NOAA/CPC still showing neutral throughout 2017-2018, but with higher chance of El Nino than La Nina for now.
Some members of Euro showing La Nina, but most showing weak El Nino
