I agree with the 2nd part of this, but Amarillo gets more snow than STL (and KC).
Location, location, location.
(OKC only gets about 8"/yr, so I also see your point about across the state of OK and into AR.)
Also...elevation, elevation, elevation! Our location being in a river valley at low elevation does us no favors. You’re forgetting about a certain mountain peak that we have here locally. And I ain’t talkin’ about Taum Sauk. |

It’s trying to push north but I suspect most of that is virga. Damn what a tease.

Is it me or does this December seem a lot like December 2012? Overall near to just above normal temps and snow hard to come by. That is until December 28th of that year.

I have a friend who has a horse ranch about a mile west of Enid, OK. She says they have a decent amount of snow...the most in several years. I see they are predicted for more snow on Tuesday. This really is good news, I think. When a long pattern gets broken in a favorable source region for storms in our area, then I think in due time, we will become the beneficiary for that.

Well it’s snowing in Lebanon MO at the very northern fringe so maybe I’ll get a little bit.

It isn't a bad thing that someone in the middle of the country is getting snow this winter so far. And our current weather beats the last few years of 60's, sunshine, and green grass. The cold/cool and cloudy stuff at least makes it feel like the hollidays. But yea I'm still not happy about the track of this one.

Ggem, gfs, and euro all have a storm approaching in the 23rd-25th range.
At least there is a chance

Ya I kinda thought we may at least see some flurries today but that’s not looking likely at this point.

That period is very close to the "hot spot" I identified in my post a few days ago from previous similar years

Sitting here watching the full Conus radar in high resolution and saying to myself...WTH. Please, (I know you will) point me out if I am wrong. Normally, I would be watching this (thinking it will move NE over us) and be looking for convection along the Gulf Coast that might rob us of potential moisture transport northward. Looking at this radar I see a line of thunderstorms just east of Houston stretching NE through LA into central MS. Not only does it NOT appear to be hindering moisture transport north, look at the plume of developing showers/storms coming across the Red River in NE TX. Now continue looking north and watch the area over Fort Smith, AR and E OK get enchanced precip into the colder air. Does anything EVER work out like that for us???
Rant over. I really would prefer to not see "alot" of snow for Christmas Eve/Christmas Day for my own travel reasons.

I wouldn't get to discouraged.
It's only December 13th.
I am guessing 75% of our snow falls after Christmas.
And that probably skews towards 85-90% many years that don't feature an anomolous snow event pre-Christmas.
We have been spoiled by some amazing November's starting back in 2014 onwards.
IIRC we have had 3 or 4 since then with accumulating snow.

Something popping up on RadarScope just north of the county. Looks like right on the river. Not sure what it is.

Yep- lapse rate virtually zero in the snow growth zone- can’t imagine anything reaching the ground with that dry air |

Are you talking about the Tuesday night yes, all the problems have been at h85 and the mid-level low manages to bolster up just enough to pull in some moisture i.imgur.com/w41lVXc.png |
