Can't you be happy about anything? Be happy that it will be festive and how looks optimistic that it will be snow not rain ( at this point ). Merry Xmas!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I agree with that idea. Wasn’t expecting, or taking anything that was shown yesterday seriously on the GFS. A couple inches is fine on Xmas eve. Perfect actually.

Yeah the euro has been more consistent with light snows. I think it maybe had advisory snows for a run but it’s been mostly in that 1-3” range except last night when it went with flurries. GFS has been all over the map from warning snows to nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess we should be happy it’s a possibility. There'll certainly be a system moving through, just a matter of how much QPF will be with it. Only real moisture source will probably be as it moves across the Lakes. Don't think there is much room to ingest some ATL moisture or tap into any Gulf Moisture to enhance QPF. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxWatcher007 Posted Thursday at 07:17 PM Share Posted Thursday at 07:17 PM Anything in this general period of failure that produces a white Christmas is an unequivocal win. Full stop. Double win if most of the subforum can get it too. I don’t give a fuk if it’s a sheared out shortwave or weak frontal system. I’ll worry about the rest of the winter on Dec 26. 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbenedet Posted Thursday at 07:53 PM Share Posted Thursday at 07:53 PM In terms of snowcover we are trailing behind every year since 2019, except last year. Last year in mid December there were back to back cutters that decimated the snowcover through year end. We have a hostile period incoming about 10 days behind last year's...Will be interesting to see where we are around the 1st... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn’t tell you anything about Christmas 2002—the gifts I got or what we did. But I can picture the snowy landscape outside about as vividly as it if it happened yesterday. Funny how memories work. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NoCORH4L Posted Thursday at 08:34 PM Share Posted Thursday at 08:34 PM Not getting any snow before Christmas is kinda like not getting any heat or thunderstorms before July 4th. Wasted half the season in both cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think there is a lot of that type of nostalgia for that. For me, it was getting a day off of school. Still today, that liberating and spirited feeling comes rushing back with an impending storm, even though I am beholden today to no one, and certainly not a boring public institution. As for "snow on the ground," I couldn't really care less. It's more annoying to me. But...give me an event to track 5 days out, dump it on me, & cause a huge distraction to the normal flow of prosaic life. Then get the snow the hell outta here a day later, and rinse and repeat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
