Region Wide Christmas Eve Clipper Potential

[dendrite]

Best forcing has always been near the canadian border with this. There’s a reason why you want them sliding south of you. Congrats Sherbrooke. 

[Kitz Craver]

I remember when Clipper was synonymous with 2-4, 3-5” snows. Like it was a lock. Sigh. Clippers of yore…

[WxWatcher007]

I’d take my chances with .1 of qpf though in this airmass. Unless it’s arctic sand ratios should be decent.

To be clear, this is as marginal as it gets in terms of precip—not even discussion worthy normally. But it’s happening on Christmas Eve and could give people their first white Christmas in a while—at least down here in the hinterlands of SNE. 

And yeah, what happened to clippers sliding south of New England but at least they’ve miraculously returned from extinction. I’m used to perfect track 2-4” rain events the last 7 years.

You guys in SNE are basically relying on some snow with the cold fropa and it starts drying up once it gets past the western hills. Low to mid levels are bone dry before then so any stray echoes are likely virga. Even up here it’s probably < 1”.

It’s a dusting really.

Can’t even do clippers right. Next we’ll get a SWFW that’ll blowtorch us 10 minutes after the column moistens enough for precipitation to fall.

The Euro (00z at least) is pretty paltry

Euro was 1-2. You’re going to ring out a fluff bomb in this arctic airmass . Lots of doubters in here. Just watch

I could see N ORH county doing better than most in SNE but for the majority it’s a few flakes to maybe a coating.

Perfect. Doesn't f up driving and the lights look pretty.

As modeled, could get some marine DPs involved, some salt nuclei and hope for an inch. One can dream although we have seen clippers do exactly that.

Look on the bright side, in a few days someone will start a thread for January 2.

Gfs is a few flakes

[TauntonBlizzard2013]

This truthfully hadn’t been worth watching in days for SNE. Even CNE isn’t interesting now.

 

just another L in a long line of them

Looking forward to a HV runner to ring in the new year.

More scenic than significant. Hope you guys have a merry Christmas.

Even down here we should see flakes. It's not going to add up to alot.

We’ll agree to disagree

Grinch is a rainer or blowtorch. See King Grinch, Dec 25, 2020. 

This is just meh if nothing comes of it.

Not a grinch, Not even close to a grinch.

[DavisStraight]

Maybe the theme of this year will be the year of overperformers like the last storm. and we all get 2-4.

[Chrisrotary12]

Oh yeah... another potential dusting. Yipee!

[bristolri_wx]

Be thankful that Christmas Eve And Christmas Day should be relatively cold with some snowy patches on the ground. Better than the last several years. Some flurries or a coating will be nice.

Better than 60 and heavy rain!

12z Euro holds the course from 00z. Period of light snow Xmas Eve morning

Looks paltry for SNE. It has a little more QPF than other guidance but we’re still talking under a tenth. 

[HoarfrostHubb]

Even a few flakes and seasonal cold is better than a 60F Rainer.
