Good thing that’s been our bread and butter for years now. I’d say it’s anything that rains or wipes the pack within 5-7 days of Christmas…but This 100%. If it rains but then we snow, the Grinch is either defeated or if it’s in the same storm (rain to snow) then it grew a heart.

I know, but the result of that catastrophe is tattooed inside my eyelids.

After King Grinch in 2020 I’m always gonna be wary of a big cutter wiping pack to bare ground, but this looks like it’s been trending toward quite a blast of cold at the end without high end warmth here. Maybe some backend snow.

Back to the wx, there’s a legit signal for some type of storm right around that 23-26 time frame. That’s all you can ask for this far out. I really do think there’s enough of a cold press in place from SE Canada to crack the door open for some type of wintry event. We don’t need an ideal pattern to cash in. Just a window of opportunity. Aside from that I still think the overall central US ridging still looks west enough to prevent a full on torch Dec 24-25 throughout NE.

Just about everyone does olympic level mental gymnastics during the winter from southeast Canada to Georgia. People are overly pessimistic just as they are overly positive depending on where they sit and how desperate they are for snow. Like you said, that's the purpose of the board, and it's what makes it incredibly fun and incredibly frustrating all season long. Most people strike enough of a balance to fit in, but we have our positive and negative outliers--God love (most of) 'em, no doubt about it. My perspective has always been--just have fun. If you're negative, have fun with it. If you're a #faithinflakes kind of person, make it entertaining not obsessive. If you don't believe in fun, be educational at least. Life is far too short and serious to be miserable here.

He’s just sitting back…watchin’…waitin’…smilin’…

We decided on gutters (I wanted to wait a year) but the insulation so far doesn’t seem to be too bad. We still need more though. I came across this monster downtown the other day.

-SN at 1.7°

Sound effect snow in NC lol

I hear you, it’s far from ideal, but nobody cares about anything other than Dec 24 & 25. Given recent years, it just needs to not be awful. If there are snow showers at 30° on Christmas Day that coat the ground, nobody cares about 50° and rain on Dec 26. It’s weird, but that’s what it is for most I would imagine.

Absolutely frigid up here as CAA occurs. It’s 3.8° with a below zero night on tap with wind picking up.

I’m not at home but a reliable friend reports 2” in East Hartford.

Speaking of ops, Christmas miracle on the Euro lol

Congrats to everyone that got on the board.

We just had a legit wicked snow squall roll through. I couldn’t see more than 150ft ahead of me at one point. A quick .7”. Taken right before all hell broke loose.

Congrats Easy to forget up here that it’s not even most favorable climo yet. The satellite image tomorrow of Canada to Virginia having snow will be beautiful.

Congrats guys

Yeah, I totally get the urge to look—I’m looking too knowing it’s over 240h out, but we have a long way to go. I just don’t want to see a Christmas torch show up on the ensembles…and so far…we look ok in that department.

That is a wonderful gif. I gotta use that. If the GFS has a clue it’ll be getting plenty of play. My God.

Final map. Most are probably 2-4" but I wanted to account for the 5" report I know I'm getting from GON, Steve, and Kevin while WXW1 struggles to 2" due to dry air. Minimum probably is my area while NW CT is in 2-3 of fluff.

Did look a touch better to me. Liking the trend today.

And I’ve been saying I expect measurable in CT for like a week. No respect from the rev. At least he’s back from the ledge of the Charter Oak and resting comfortably at home.

Maybe for us. Areas south and west may not be so fortunate. Still, I want to see these patterns get inside 7 days before believing them wholesale. Next week was trending toward a torch and now it looks like a brief mild up here imo. Very location dependent and we're close to the edge of trouble. Would love to stay on the right side because post Christmas it doesn't look bad.

Went 1-3 statewide. Expecting most south and east of I-84. Thought of a 2-4 zone in SE CT but decided against it for now.
