Hi! Thought it might be interesting to check-speculate on a white Christmas (since I didnt see the topic earlier). Been watching the EC SNOW DEPTH guidance. I Another uncertain minor 2-6 hour snow event possible between 6A-Noon Tuesday the 24th, that should leave fairly large chunk of our area to qualify as 1" of snow on the ground Christmas morning (rounding 1/2" up). Temps in the interior will be at or below freezing by sundown today and continue possibly through 10AM Christmas Day. So where we exceed an inch today, we have a chance of 1/2" or more on the ground Christmas morning. Attached the op 12z/20 ECMWF attempt to predict snow depth. Grey is about 1/2". XMACIS 12/25 CP amounts attached. I checked EWR which also dates back to 2009 when they 4 on the ground in the morning. . Last time CP moe than 1/2" on the ground on Christmas Day...2009. Probably not going to happen but it might. Depends on tonight and Tuesday morning.

Most of our long range looks are well into December now. Hopefully we can have a better winter than last year, which was an all-time worst here. The first week of the month looks to be near normal temp wise and probably drier than normal, even though CPC favors AN precip.

We are hitting well into the window for December discussion. My best event of winter was on December 12th last year and I believe in 2019 it was a December event for the far Eastern areas. That was as the pattern of a very cold November bled into December. To get there this year we are going to have to count on the pattern to switch in December itself. Hints that it may, at least for a short time, as we head into the last few days of November and first week of December.
