While it wasn’t cold enough to average below freezing like 2007, this was the coldest start to December since then before the pattern warms up.

Sorry, can't imagine picking Peddlers Village over NYC, especially around the holidays, when NYC is so vibrant and full of beauty (and yes, crowded, but it's crowded because it's worth visiting - plenty of places off the beaten track to visit). 

I would pick that over NYC. 

Way too crowded in NYC

I live in NYC and I don't even go to Manhattan unless I have to.

Historical:

1892 - A tremendous ice fall occurred at Gay Hill, TX. Ice averaged four to six inches in diameter. (David Ludlum)

 

1935: From the Monthly Weather Review for December 1935, "The outstanding flood of December 1935 was the record-breaking overflow of Buffalo and White Oak Bayous at Houston, Texas on the 8 and 9th. This destructive flood was caused by excessive rainfall over Harris County, Texas during a 42 hour period on the 6th, 7th, 8th, with amounts ranging from 5.50 inches at Houston" to 16.49 inches at the Humble Oil Company in the northwestern part of Harris County.

1938 - The temperature at La Mesa, CA, soared to 108 degrees to set a U.S. record for the month of December. (The Weather Channel)

1963 - Lightning caused the crash of a jet airliner killing 81 persons at Elkton, MD. (Sandra and TI Richard Sanders - 1987)

1987 - A cold front crossing the northwestern U.S. continued to produce high winds along the coast, and heavy snow blanketed parts of the western U.S. Snowfall totals in the mountains of western Nevada ranged up to 18 inches at Heavenly Valley, and near the Boreal Ski Resort, and winds at Reno NV gusted to 56 mph. Thunderstorms over southern Florida deluged the Florida Keys with up to five inches of rain. Strong winds, gusting to 48 mph at Gage OK, ushered wintry weather into the Central High Plains. Goodland KS, which one day earlier was 63 degrees, was blanketed with two inches of snow. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1988 - Santa Ana winds buffeted southern California, with gusts to 92 mph reported at Laguna Peak. The high winds unroofed buildings, and downed trees and power lines, igniting five major fires, and numerous smaller ones. Damage was estimated at 15 to 20 million dollars. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

1989 - A winter storm spread snow and freezing rain across much of the Atlantic Coast Region, from Georgia to New Jersey. Snowfall totals ranged up to seven inches, at Stanton VA and Tobacco MD. Up to six inches of snow blanketed the mountains of northern Georgia. More than one hundred auto accidents were reported in Gwinnett County GA. (The National Weather Summary) (Storm Data)

GFS and CMC 850 Anomaly completely different at Day 10 - can't trust any solution past Day 5

GFS Model – 850mb Temp Anomaly for CONUS | Tropical Tidbits

CMC Model – 850mb Temp Anomaly for CONUS | Tropical Tidbits

This is why you can't trust any model past Day 5- 10 Verified -Dec 2 12Z Run Vs. Dec 8th 12Z Run concentrated on Dec 12 12Z

GFS Model – 850mb Temp Anomaly for CONUS | Tropical Tidbits

CMC Model – 850mb Temp Anomaly for CONUS | Tropical Tidbits

Also IMO anybody who knows what the weather will be like Christmas week today is kidding themselves........

This time of year I’d say it’s something you do once or twice, or you want to go all out like getting a hotel room near Times Square for New Years Eve. I used to work near Grand Central and seeing it the first couple times was nice but after was just a PITA. It was pathetic seeing the Christmas/New Years setup in Austin when I lived there in comparison-really no one does it up like Midtown this time of year so it’s worth seeing it the once or twice.

There were still snowbergs- mini boulder-like piles of snow-on Sunken Meadow Parkway yesterday am.  Clipper clipped here with a few raindrops 445am today.

Last of the snow is melting in my backyard today. Was a nice little surprise event.

The GFS and CMC would be an impressive storm since they go neg tilt further south. The Euro is weaker. Wonder if the Euro is holding back too much energy to the SW like it used to do making it too progressive?

GFS would have 50-60+ mph gusts for NJ/LI Wed evening. Good thing the full moon isn't until 12/15.

Well the latest Euro 360 is on the crack pipe.  Let's watch this day by day and see where it goes.  Verbatim would be very cold and potentially stormy Christmas holiday period.  I'll take the under at this point.   :rolleyes:

Who knows
