Lobbying for uncertainty. That should say it all.

Yeah I think some people got sucked into the idea of a marginal threat prior to 1/3 or so….that’s prob where some of the whining is coming from. The ensembles look gangbusters still beyond that so don’t see anything that screams red flags for January. 

Nope...just lamenting a lost month.

I get that some got shut out…And it’s been a loss for some, and I feel for those. Fresh snow here on Xmas eve…ensuring a white Xmas, and very close to normal snow for December at my locale, with some good cold, and frigid temps the last 4 days.  I can’t complain.  Hopefully we all get the major system we are looking for in January.   Merry Xmas boys! 

I am still pleased with asthetic appeal here for the holiday.

It wasn’t Dec 2010 or anything where we got buried with snow, but I have 0 issues with how this month played out. It actually feels like winter and we are going to have our first white Christmas in almost a decade here.

i’d consider this a cave to the EPS guidance

[George001]

After looking at some long range indicators more closely, I am officially putting all winter forecasts calling for a mild and below normal snow winter on BUST watch. I’m not saying this to throw shade, I went warm and below normal snow myself. I’m doing this because I’m already seeing signs that the key assumptions I made when looking at analogs are going to be wrong. The PDO is barely negative now, my forecast called for a moderate to strong -PDO. December has been a cold month, even with the late month relaxation period it will finish slightly BN temp wise. I thought December would be warm.

No, I saw that. I know what you posted about other areas. Not to get blunt with you, but stop crying. It could easily have been the other way around. The last thing I'm going to do is complain that I didn't get anything and other people did. How old are we? 10? 

I guess we'll agree to disagree, but I do think everyone's hope here is to see a bona fide winter with several snowstorms for all! 

Merry Christmas!

All good. Merry Christmas bitch.

That chart right there is why this is my first White Christmas...

1989 was 5 years before I was born

Merry Christmas, snow angels!  

Remember like grandma said, if you open the package carefully, you can reuse the paper.

Merry Christmas...and the first white one in many years down here!

Although my wife is trying to tell me that in order to call it  a white Christmas, it has to be the first snow of the season.  Has anyone else heard that?

[Snowcrazed71]

Merry Christmas everyone. 

Enjoy today!!

My step-dad used to claim that it had to be both the first snow of the season, and that it had to be falling on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning. Not sure where that came from, though either scenario would obviously be ideal. By that definition, I've only experienced two: 2017 and one year during the late aughts when we got a surprise inch or two from a little disturbance late Christmas morning.

Anyway, Merry Christmas to the board! I'm mostly a lurker these days, but always appreciate the insights and nonsense.

How long have you been in VT now?

You will be cryin’ for your mama if we ever get a real winter again. Your -2 the other night would be a warm up.

Let's not make it harder on ourselves.

Yeah seriously lol. I’ve heard of the 1” having to fall on Christmas day itself, but all that matters to me is looking out this morning and seeing a completely snow covered ground. 

[ORH_wxman]

The “falling on Christmas” was always made up at least as far back from when I was a kid. All the Mets used to say a white Xmas meant 1” or more OTG at 12z Xmas morning. 
 

Maybe there was some other definition back during the days of snow up to thy knickers. 
 

Merry Christmas and Happy Hanukkuh weenies.

Does excess salt on the roads from an overzealous DPW count?

This coming Monday would make a full year! Doesn't feel like it tbh, and I am far happier up here (and y'all here in the forum are a part of the reason why)

Always amazed how quiet it is on Christmas. After all these years I still haven't figured out where everybody goes?
