0z euro already backed off on magnitude of cold later next week.  12z run was nothing but a weenie run.  lol 0 in seattle and 20 in san fran.

It's a supercell fest down south. Many of them are tornado-warned.

I haven't seen the sun in what feels like 6 weeks.

[Stebo]

Saw some sun for a while this afternoon

If bored I could always start the unrealistic winter expectations thread. Point out our winters here really are pretty lame. Then have Michsnowfreak come to the rescue with his snow statistics that deny my argument and clearly demonstrate winters are indeed snowier(especially in his backyard)

What, you didn't realize? Dear lord, yes, we all adore cold summers. The colder and rainer it is, the better. Endless spring ftw.

Barring another large-enough volcanic eruption.

I certainly hope not.

With the ostracisation and subsequent disappearance of Hoosier, I was concerned over who would pick up the sub's drought monitoring duties.  Looks like Alek has it handled.

[JayPSU]

What happened to Hoosier?  Or, if it's easier, can someone point me to the thread where I can find out myself?

[Chambana]

If we finally get a cold pattern right before Christmas with bare ground and end the month with another T of snow, I’ll inject bleach into my brain stem. 

[A-L-E-K]

For the real heads

Trump said bleach works against COVID too.

If it's any consolation if the Christmas week storm ends up on the east coast, could see a decent lake effect chance on the Chicago side of the lake?

It's not for me.

I will say what a refreshing pattern running up to Christmas. Consistent cold, multiple snow chances one of which could be significant, and these conditions are fairly widespread across the sub. Something we really haven't seen in the past decade.

Pull-back at Christmas 2013 was only thing keeping that same period being like this (8 yrs). Even at that, by NYE a nice system was in progress to be followed by a CAT-4 PV bliz right on its heels. This is about a week earlier and as you say timing couldn't be more perfect unless it cramps some special holiday plans.

Hard to argue with these stats.

The historical odds of a white Christmas in Toledo are 45%. Since 1874 when records began, Winter has actually COOLED in Toledo by 0.6°. The Dec 25-Jan 5 period has warmed 1° since 1874. The frigid 1970s are a dream come true for the crowd that loves to pump climate change into every article. Starting a dataset in 1970 gives an automatic regression line that's going to be more dramatic because the 1970s winters were so abnormally cold. I've seen it time again and it's laughable. It's not a 30 year average. It's not a 100 year average. It's not a period of record average.  A more accurate wording would be "since the coldest time in our climate record, we have warm…"
