Norman put out a watch for Western and Central Oklahoma for ice.

...WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM MONDAY EVENING THROUGH
WEDNESDAY MORNING...

* WHAT...Significant icing possible. Total ice accumulations of
  one tenth to four tenths of an inch possible.

* WHERE...Portions of central and southwest Oklahoma and
  northern Texas.

* WHEN...From Monday evening through Wednesday morning.

* IMPACTS...Power outages and tree damage are likely due to the
  ice. Travel could be nearly impossible. The hazardous
  conditions could impact the morning or evening commute.

I joked a few days ago about a crippling Ice Storm because ya know... 2020 but now the 0z NAM has come into range with 2+ inches of ice. This along with leaves still being on most trees would be pretty devastating. I do think its being bullish jumping on board with that kind of outcome even though the GFS has been showing some kind of Ice Storm for several days now. Something will happen but 2+ inches of ice seems farfetched.

OKC sitting at 29F with quite a bit of precip overhead... how's that treating y'all up there??

It's about 32-33 here. Trees have a glaze on them but streets and everything are ok. Saw OK has 200,000 people without power.

It was looking like it would be an extended stretch of boring and warm after this, but the 12z GFS and CMC decided to pop a -EPO in about 10 days, which would result in downstream troughing and a dump of cold down the Plains. We'll see.

I think we enter a warmer pattern after this cool shot Sunday. My philosophy is to always watch the euro. It's not a perfect model, but definitely better than most. This real cold shot originated from a minor warming event in stratosphere.

It will be warmer for a bit, but even the Euro EPS has come around to more of a -EPO look. I don't get the Ensembles, so not sure what it does after this, whether it dumps the cold in the west or what.

The 06z GFS preps for another ice storm.

That bright thing in the sky decided to show back up today. So much rain!

The -EPO looks to build in about 9-10 days, but the first push of cold air looks to be directed into the western US. Maybe in time it will bleed east. We'll see!

Anybody got any positive thoughts on the next 6 weeks or so?  I'm not reading anything good thru January, maybe beyond.   Wondering if I should start thinking about 21-22 yet.

We got some hail last night. I consider that winter weather at this point.
