Maybe we can get a Christmas landfalling E Pac storm to pump some moisture into some Arctic air. or a stalled bowling ball.

I predict that neither Houston nor the D-FW area will have a white Christmas this year. As for snow in Jan/Feb, well, I wouldn't predict no snow then. The pattern should change by the end of December to one that would favor Deep South winter weather.

So, Austin should have a white Christmas then?

Yup, 2015 (summer drought and all) has definitely been one for the books...and then some.
Take a good, hard, long look and remember this year. It's one for the ages in weather lore. It might be the only time in most of our lives that we get to see something like this.

Only 1957 comes close to the scope of rains that have fallen over Texas this year. Though 1957 was lackluster in the fall unlike 2015. The El Nino as of today came in with it's first official trimonthly of 2C. The next will be higher. It's official by all measures you can now call it the Super El Nino of 2015. We will look back some years from now when it's high and dry and understand how when the skies opened up, it poured and poured. So that we will remember, the desertification of Texas can't happen now or anytime in the near feature. Because El Nino's happen and are cyclical. It is a part of our climate and the Pacific is the great modulator that swings the pendulum back and forth in the biggest weather machine that effects Texas. They won't stop happening 50 years from now or 500 years.

Re: Texas Winter 2015-2016
GFS continues to show a change to colder weather after next weekend/mid month(after a slight warmup a little above average late next week) and at least one run today had some snow in N TX out in that timeframe.

Slow down, that's 3 weeks out.
A cool down starting after mid month culminating in a winter storm a week to 10 days after sets up perfectly for a chance though small of a white Christmas for some. Twice in four years is probably too good to be true though.
We've already had two! 2009 and 2012...2015 would be right in schedule lol

It's 31 degrees and cloudy just after noon here, doesn't feel too bad as long as I keep my hands warm.
Edit: It actually just dropped to 30, it's supposed to be 40 degrees at 1 PM (in 40 minutes) I don't think we will make it to that at that time unless WAA arrives

If I am understanding you correctly, you are saying you would not predict snow in DFW through February?

I am not Wxman 57, but I think he was saying snow could be on the table for January and February.

For some reason, I did not see the "no" before the words "snow then" when I read it the first time.

If you look at the Euro in the 10 day range, the High pressure that Ntx claims im responsible for ( )If you notice, it weakens juuuuuust a tad and IMMEDIATELY we can start to see Ntx's beloved -EPO start to rear its head. Just an observation i made with the latest Euro run.

Maybe your ridge is the mother ship for the -EPO ridges? Maybe your ridge didn't weaken, it just transferred itself further north in to the EPO!
A low east of Hawaii (where your ridge is) usually means warmth in winter for us. So with ridging there you'd expect adverse effects so your theory does have merit.
The AO I don't think will rush negative anytime soon but it is taking hits, so eventually we my win in that department. PNA going back neutral-negative so that definitely spells active weather for us. The guidance is tilting more towards neutral to -EPO in the second half of December. CPC already highlighting the shift of warmth to along the northeast and colder anomalies bleeding from the west. We are not going to suffer the same fate as the Great Lakes or northeast, they are likely the most at risk for a torchy winter.
I mean this El Nino is in the likes of 1877-1982-1997 and if those composites don't scare them I don't know what does. That is if they enjoy cold.

Don't think it got above 32 today, if it did it was between NWS Reports. The Culprit was likely the clouds that stayed much longer than forecasted as folks west and north of me had much warmer temps. It was supposed to be 43 today.
