I totally get the angst with...you know, North Carolina having measurable snow and much of the subforum failing in the early December chance, but this stuff is a little short sighted, even for me who reminder: canceled winter early January last year and that was still too optimistic lol. We really want to cash in on the pattern before whatever relaxation, I've said it's imperative. But even if we didn't if we got some random clipper to drop an inch or two on Dec 24 most would be happy and turn the page to tracking for 2026. You can only rely on it so much, but not having an absolute blowtorch or well defined Grinch showing up at range is a good thing. A really good thing. By Christmas Day, BDL's monthly and seasonal normal are 7.6"/9.7" respectively. At BDR they are 4.0"/5.0". We should hope for climo, and I think it can be done, as much of a torpedo pattern this is. I loathe the fast flow overall for SNE, but I'd rather have that with plenty of opportunities for something than tracking one shortwave every 10 days.

Man it’s hard for me to imagine -40. That must’ve been wild.

Buckshot models. Wasn’t the EPS coldest just a few days ago? Coldest night of the season so far here. WXW1: 7.4° WXW2: -14.1° Shame I wasn’t there to get the VP2 up and running but that’s my first priority when I head back.

BDL -8.6° SLK -13.0° BDL is above monthly snow but below seasonal average. SLK doesn’t measure snow but…we deep winter so far up there…

That’s what WXW1 will be for

When you radiate to 20° that’s one thing, but when you’re radiating below zero, it’s man cold with or without wind.

19.8/1 here at WXW1. HFD is 21/-8. WXW2 is -2.9/-5.4. SLK is -11/-17 with mist.

Totally. There was snow cover from SLK all the way to northern CT on my ride back today. One patch of snow hanging on here in my front yard lol. We’re not that far off from snow cover across all of New England.

Yeah that’s of interest to me. We want to get on the board. As many times as possible.

Was shoveling this morning at -1. Snow depth was between 9-13” overall. Pretty crazy to get a 6” event without even an advisory.

That was just a one off post from me but it’s southern VA. If they’re beating climo in the first 1/3 of December it’s notable no matter the amount. Anyway. I’m liking the weekend. Never wavered on that.

Winter storm warnings from Roanoke to Williamsburg…can’t make it up.

That may work in your favor about a week from now…

GFS now following the NAM with a little snow early Wednesday in SNE.

It’s an entirely different planet. Wild stuff.

Over performer. Finished with 6.2” of fluff. Biggest event of the season.

It’s all good haha. I was just busting. Hopefully SNE and WXW1 can cash in soon. Just have to hope something pops. The model runs are all over the place as to be expected but I agree with @40/70 Benchmark that folks should be meaningfully on the board by mid month.

It was just funny how all the posts before yours was a lamentation and then you swoop in with clipper snow. 3.7” as of 45 minutes ago. It really is beautiful out. I’ve been moving into WXW2 in a short sleeve shirt all day. As much as I love snow that was not fun. Heading back to CT tomorrow but likely back in time for the more robust system midweek. Hoping to setup the VP2 then.

Dude…let the SNE venting be done in peace

3.7” as of 5:45

Someone years ago, maybe @donsutherland1, ran an analysis and there’s actually higher precipitation around Dec 25 than other parts of the month.

Already 1.2” of fluff from last night and this morning.

13th still on the Euro. Models will waffle for a while. Main takeaway is that the pattern is ripe for something. No need to live and die on each run.

Winter weenie souls from Manhattan to Methuen are at stake.

Imperative that we cash in on one of these…
