Re: Texas Winter 2016-2017
It was a good read, but very preliminary as he pointed out. I'm hinging my bet to a weak La Nina this Winter, which can bring about a verity of winter weather to Texas from mild sunny dry weather to extreme cold lasting 2-3 days, to even some measureable winter precip events (ice). Weak El Nino's, ENSO Neutral, and Weak La Nina's are the best possible winters for Texas.

We're all rooting for you! It has to break eventually and deliver some winter fun.

Ah Yuke ... here's hoping all of us get something to enjoy this coming winter season. The City of Cleveland finally got a sports championship in 2016. The Chicago Cubs may end up winning the World Series this year. Hey, anything is possible including snow in Austin!

For those who wish to peruse, the 2016-2017 Farmers Almanac winter outlook has been released. Looks great in my opinion. We will see, it is only August after all.

Re: Texas Winter 2016-2017
Did some research on years that had a large pool of warm water in the Northern Pacific. This large pool would lead to a persistent -EPO for us.
1917-1918
1948-1949
1955-1956
1971-1972
1978-1979
1983-1984
2013-2014
Any other years i should add?

Re: Texas Winter 2016-2017
SST wise 2013 is a decent match. ENSO is also a good match for cold neutral/weak Nina.

Re: Texas Winter 2016-2017
1983-1984 is another, it developed very well around Alaska late fall resulting in the bombastic explosion of the -EPO in December. . This was also a failed Nina following a super nino

Excellent data from a fellow member who PM'd me this information. Here are the years we should use for analog! A few more should be added based on this data. I will add them once i finish some work.

Re: Texas Winter 2016-2017
Man those waters in the GOA are mighty warm. My gut feeling we are reverting back to the dominant -EPO hold since there is no significant outside influence (i.e. super Nino/Nina). 2013 blob all over again

Re: Texas Winter 2016-2017
I read on wikipedia that most of the SST transition occurs within the last few months then it doesnt have much transition after that. I believe itss here to stay. Between June and Early Sept is when the transition occurs. Should stick around till about next May at least.

Re: Texas Winter 2016-2017
-EPO favors shallow cold air into Texas. Unfortunately, means lots of ice storms. I'll take it over a cold rain though!

Excellent! I'd like nothing more than for Austin to reclaim it's rightful title of being: The Freezing Drizzle Capital of Texas.

Re: Texas Winter 2016-2017
Added some new years to the analog. New years added is based on the data in the link posted. The years in the 1800's may not have reliable weather data but im sure there is some material out there to work with.

Re: Texas Winter 2016-2017
I agree with others that it looks like we will have a -EPO/cool ENSO winter and that is a pretty chilly set up around here with maybe slightly below average precip. 2013/2014 seems like as good of an analog as any though seeing 1983/1984 is nice too. Both featured early extreme Arctic blasts and some wintery precip events.

Agreed. I think unlike the last two warm Decembers, this year will feature December as a prime cold month. Maybe even the highlight of the winter as often in weak Nina/cold neutral seasons. I don't know if it will be wall to wall cold but it's likely to be front heavy and quieter end.
