There’s a guy on YouTube that goes by the name Weatherman Plus that said he thinks mid to late December will be warm because the AO is forecasted to go positive. Don’t really know how much stock I put into that because I’ve heard it will be cold from just about everywhere else.
What about POW on Ponder? Cold as usual?
I haven’t heard his thoughts yet on December. Maybe someone else has.

Ryan Hall Y'all has definitely settled down since last year, he does admit that he does like to get crazy excited for snow. His 6-7 foot snowfall forecast near Buffalo, NY verified.

When it comes to Livestreams, he's an absolute legend!

Longest streak ever of sub freezing weather.

My hometown in Longview was below freezing for 9 days I believe.

I think Houston was 72 hours plus.

I was a high school freshman at Pearland and it was a very chilly Christmas. A brief summary from Space City Weather:

December 1983
Coldest temperature: 11° on 12/25
Nights at or below freezing: 12, including 11 in a row to close the month.

The December 1983 cold wave was another hall of fame event for Houston. We closed the month with 11 straight mornings below freezing, including four full days that failed to crack above 32 degrees.

I was a senior in high school at Santa Fe. I can attest, December 1983 was the coldest I have been through for that long stretch of time.

December 1983 was very cold. It is one of the coldest Decembers recorded for most of America, including Texas.
