Blizzard of 93

It is truly remarkable that MDT is running 9 degrees below normal temperature for the month through 12/16. What a cold stretch, along with above normal snow for the season to date at 4.7 inches. Great start to the season & hopefully we are on our way to a good Winter that is overdue for many of us.

The Euro has a similar look but is displaced a little further north & east with mostly rain for CTP around Christmas. The GFS has been bouncing around today. The general idea of a wave tracking near us is there sometime around Christmas Day, but the details need resolved as the week goes on. Hopefully we end up on the right side of the boundary to get a couple of inches of snow to a mix if we get the right track & the cold in the northeast can hold in enough east of the mountains.

The Canadian looks a lot like the 6z GFS from earlier today with a chance of a little snow to icy mix for many of us.

0z & 6z GFS both showed potential for Christmas wintry weather with a possible icy mix & snow for most of CTP. The Canadian last night had a mix as well. The Euro was not on board. Here is the 6z GFS for Christmas.

18z GFS is still trying to give us the chance of some light snow or mix with 2 wave potentials toward Christmas.

That’s great to hear! Many of us on here were thinking of you & rooting for your recovery! I’m looking forward to tracking our next snow chance on here with you!

It’s going to be tough to get wintry precip before Christmas with the advertised pattern. Temps should be relatively seasonable after our few day warm up later this week. The period between just after Christmas & before New Year’s showed some potential for chances on the 0z GFS. It looks potentially active, so hopefully we are on the right side of the boundary.

Great to hear from you! How are you doing?

Low in Marysville this morning was 7, which is coldest of the season here.

MDT is down to 9 this morning.

The Euro is the only model that I could find that had it at 12z just as @mitchnick mentioned a little earlier. CTP had a 20% chance of a snow shower. Even a special weather statement for the LSV would have been nice especially with it hitting at rush hour. I-81 was crawling & road conditions were not great. My normal 15 minute commute was more than doubled.

I just measured .4” in Marysville! Beatuful surprise snow to freshen up the snow pack.

Back to tracking… The 18z GFS this run shows the chance of a Christmas Day icy mix.

I just looked back at the posts & didn’t see anything more than usual snow event banter & Observations.

See my post above. I have no idea where he got that idea. It was clearly a couple a long time posters joking around.
