Yeah, we're about due for a 70F Christmas Day. Anyway, some additional updates from Accuwx (wish I had better news to share)...
Oct-Dec -- Temps +2F or greater. Back and forth mild/chilly. High overnight mins will continue to be a factor.
Dec -- More of a zonal pattern. Near normal precip, temps could average 3-5F above normal.
Jan -- Coldest air still to our west, but could occasionally work into the pattern. Not much blocking (what else is new?) but some amplification. Could be one or two big snow events.
Feb -- Temps 2-3F below average. Most analogs feature a big Feb snow event. Speaking of analogs ...
1986/87 -- Good winter here, I'd take this in a heartbeat!
1994/1995 -- Other than one storm in Feb '95, not much of a winter.
2006/07 -- Seems everyone has this year as an analog. I will say, this summer was very reminiscent to 2006 -- warm and wet. I think we had snow in Dec 2006, then winter took a long break until mid Feb with a sleet storm. Then another sleet storm in mid March 2007.
