Seen several meteors (about 2 dozen) in 20 minutes or so in Salter Path, NC tonight! Out here for a few days. Anyone else watching?

I went out a couple of times tonight. Once @ 11pm and then 12:30am. The second time I went I saw 5 in a 10 min time span. I always find it so amazing to watch!!

I have seen about 10 meteors over about an hour. Some of them were pretty bright and long creating a nice show!

Chances of a white Christmas are slim

Never say never, but if you’re the betting type, it’s safe to wager we won’t have a white Christmas this year.

Of course, here in the Piedmont, that’s a safe bet every year.

Only once in the past 65 years have we had a measurable – an inch or more – amount of snow on Christmas. You may remember that hallowed occasion – it happened two years ago, and even then we barely made it.

On Christmas 2010, it didn’t start snowing in Alamance County until about 7 p.m. According to the National Weather Service, atPiedmont Triad International Airport in Greensboro – the official weather reporting site for Alamance County – there were 4.2 inches of snow recorded before midnight. Another 1.6 inches fell during the wee hours of Dec. 26, giving us a total of 5.8 inches.

Prior to that, you’d have to go back to 1947 to find a Christmas where a measurable amount of snow fell.

And – sorry kiddies – things aren’t looking too good for snow this Christmas, either. Long-term weather forecasts – those that project eight to 14 days out – don’t show anything encouraging in the snow department.

“Right now, it’s looking like we’re going to have near-normaltemperatures and precipitation,” said Brandon Dunstan, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Raleigh. “I’m not seeing anything that looks like snow.”

He said in order for a measurable amount of snow to fall by Christmas, a blast of arctic air is needed – something much colder than we’ve been experiencing lately. Dunstan said the good news for those longing for a white Christmas is that weather forecasts much more than five days out are subject to change.

“Check back with me in a week,” he said. “Things could change. It’s not out of the realm of possibility.”

My optimism is starting to wane for an end of December turnaround, I have been punting Dec but the last few days I have been beginning to the last 10 days could bring something....if you think about it, we are currently in a strong -AO and we have a -NAO and we are not in a wintery pattern. The models are wanting to show a more favorable pacific in the 10 day range but than loses it fairly quickly. We than look to have the AO/NAO approach neutral and with a crappy pacific looking to be a staple of this winter it could very tough the next few weeks to get things turned around. I guess the next step is for people to start saying..."well February is our best month for snow anyways...."

Darn you PDO!
