Will Oklahoma see a white Christmas this year?

It has been 16 years since Oklahoma has seen a white Christmas. Many people can remember Oklahoma's historic snowstorm of 2009. It definitely altered holiday plans for hundreds of Oklahoma residents.

But is Oklahoma due a white Christmas? It has been an unseasonably wet year for Oklahoma with historic flooding and the quenching of a six-year drought.
