You see a 1052 high creeping in from the plains 5 days before Christmas and you think now that’s a step in the right direction…you’d think that
-
Merry Christmas to all
-
Boxing Day. That never fails
-
I don't think you are wrong its just pre-Christmas snow is too magical and mythical for most of us to even hope for. Rain and 55 sure...snow? nah. I'm in!
-
If that turns out to be the 2m departure from average map Ji will post it with “Merry Christmas one and all” caption..and I will promptly shit my own blinds
-
Thought that map was 2m temps for 25 December. Crisis averted.
-
Well not necessarily but….yeah that pretty much sums it up
-
Been a long time since we have seen anything other than transient cold shots. If they still had the channel 4 Bob Ryan golden snow shovel award I’d bet on December.
-
Thought that was 1888 pic. Good screensaver
-
I would think if you cut off the cross polar flow and rely on regular Canada cold source and without a decent snow pack to the north even a good pattern could yield marginal cold which we don’t do well with. Have heard many times here it’s a great pattern just not cold enough. That’s more painful than straight up warmth.
-
Fair enough. We need cold first. Let’s see what happens.
-
We do well NOT capitalizing on a cold pattern around here. We smoke a lot of cirrus.
-
We can hope for the two wave solution with the first becoming a transient 50/50 and the second one digs further south. Tall order for sure. That’s punching above our latitude.
-
Yes. Also, hoping northern NE S Canada and everywhere north of us gets solid snow cover. That can only help us later. Encouraging to see the cold pouring in…had my doubts earlier in the month that it would never get cold again. But here we are
-
Even if it was further south seems the cold is lacking for most of us. Plenty of cold after that passes…as expected.
-
So close to something fun for the rest of us if it was just a tick colder. But a cold rain works just fine to eat and drink excessively on turkey day.
-
Not this run of the GFS. Sunny and 52F. Let’s see if we can run at 60F
-
another solution for turkey day way south this run of GFS. Temps responded accordingly. We'll be in shorts before long.
-
we'll get there...already this winter is a shit ton better than last winter...and its not even winter -
taking 11/11/87 out of the equation that would be epic snowfall for November.
-
I’d take that and call it a winter…white Friday on Black Friday. 254hrs. It’s practically here
-
24 or 25th. Money in the bank
-
woo hoo! its time BWI: 7.7" DCA: 3.9" IAD: 9.8" RIC: 2.4" Tiebreaker (SBY): 1.6"
-
maybe...glass half full...this is good...mild dry through mid month and then switch it up toward turkey day...so we can wear sweaters. even in the worst patterns we get cold periods. cold rain is a win in these lean times.
-
hopefully its doesnt become part of the furniture for winter. It always seems to be there even in favorable patterns. I remember last winter it was there just enough to almost never let the 540 line move south of PA.
