Im a November 2016 filer. 

If any of you Nov. 2015 filers still get on VisaJourney.. Id like to ask at the time you were waiting for your approval at USCIS, do you remember what the estimated processing time online was? 

We are at Nebraska, and currently they are processing from 6 months ago (July), so I was wondering if that is a reoccuring this for the winter maybe... or just this year.

The estimated processing time on the USVIS website at the time is what I am interested in. I was wondering if it was 5 months, or maybe 6 months like it is now? Trying to see if there is a pattern or not.?

You can only look at past experience but there is no way of knowing that it will be exactly the same. What I  would recommend is for you to look into October 2016 filers and that will give you an idea. If they haven't been getting approved yet then you'll have an idea at the processing times right now. That's what I did when I was in your shoes. I would follow the October cases and once I saw they were being approved I knew I was close by as well. I hope this helps you in some way.

That is exactly what I am doing, but my case is in Potomac and the timeline (Igor's List) from there is really short. So I can track what is going on, but it is hard to be precise.

I dont think you really understood what I was trying to ask, since it has nothing to do with when my case will be approved.. but thank you anyway for sharing your approval and trying to help ?

It was definitely greater than 5 months on the site.  I remember this because it had an actual date they were working on as opposed to "5 months" if it were on track. I can't recall the actual dates though.
