This winter goes the other way. On my snow map the Panhandle and West Texas sit in the biggest bump anywhere in the country, about 30 percent more snow than normal, and there isn't a single spot in Texas below normal. This is my whole winter forecast for Texas in one place: how cold and how wet it gets, when you'll see your first snow, how much snow your town gets, the one-storm risk from Dallas on south, and the polar vortex I'm watching right now, checked against the newest data. If I'm wrong about your town, measure it and prove it: I'm grading this map in March. 0:00 Is Texas finally getting a real winter? 1:04 Why: a strong El Niño 1:39 How cold and wet Texas gets 2:27 When your first snow comes 3:07 A white Christmas? 3:55 How much snow Texas gets 6:09 The one storm that matters 7:03 The polar vortex wild card 8:17 Your town's number on yallsnow.com 8:46 The Y'all-O-Meter Your town's exact range: https://yallsnow.com Grab a Y'all-O-Meter for 15% off with the code SNOW15 at https://yallsnow.com Y'all-O-Meter $1,000 snow photo contest, official rules (no purchase necessary): https://ryanhallyall.com/yallometer-contest Subscribe to Ryan Hall Xtra: https://www.youtube.com/@RyanHallXtra?sub_confirmation=1 My forecasts and live storm coverage are on the main channel: https://www.youtube.com/@RyanHallYall?sub_confirmation=1 Footage: Paul Randall (Postoffice Street in Galveston under snow on Christmas morning 2004), CC BY-SA 2.0 Texas Tech University Student Housing (Texas Tech's clocktower in Lubbock after a snow, Jan 24 2023), CC BY 2.0 Fish & Trips (a Houston neighborhood under snow from a drone, Feb 15 2021), CC BY 3.0 jan buchholtz (Rice University in Houston under snow, Jan 21 2025), CC BY-SA 2.0 Public domain: Edward Jackson; NASA, ISS Expedition 34 crew; NASA Earth Observatory; NASA Worldview Full footage credits and licenses: https://public.yallsoft.app/rhy/edit-kits/texas-winter-2026/assets/credits.txt Data: NOAA and the National Weather Service (station records through the NOAA Regional Climate Centers), the NOAA Climate Prediction Center (winter outlook, El Niño), the North American Multi-Model Ensemble, the U.S. Drought Monitor, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (February 2021), Iowa Environmental Mesonet (airport observations), PRISM Climate Group at Oregon State University.
