Christmas Eve 2025

Lol. I still like cold and snow.

Got this off a 2 second search. Can anyone validate? " Here are the approximate average seasonal snowfall amounts for Central Park across different periods: 1870-1900 average: 33 inches per year. 1901-1950 average: 29 inches per year. 1951-2000 average: 24 inches per year. 1991-2020 average: 25.1 inches per year (the current climate "normal"). 2001-2023 average: 31 inches per year. "

And next run it will show 60F under a massive ridge, run after that a blizzard, etc.

It would be great for once to get a frozen event in that time frame of any sort after the past several years.

Because it sucks for our area while central/Northern NY measures in feet.

@wncsnow I think I’m coming around to your thoughts about the pattern. I’m not completely out on the next few weeks producing but this current setup with a cold Alaska, slack ridge heights out west and a strong northern stream just isn’t going to cut it unless we get lucky. We need help in the Atlantic too. It stinks to have this much cold on this side of the globe without any fantasy storms but here we are. I’m sort of wondering as well, if what comes after a complete shake up, could be a better version of this. Inject some volatility and get these big blocking mechanisms in the Pacific moving around a bit.

Still at work north of Charlottesville, roads/parking lots have now begun to cave... outer lanes of Rt 29 are now snow covered... steady pixie dust snow restarted about 90 mins ago...

Yeah... lots of sleet and freezing rain in this area. Nice!!! Take down the grid on Christmas Eve

I would sign for this in a second.

In TRI, that would be 0.5" of ice preceding 10-12" of snow. Give me the snow...I don't want any ice. Slow-ish moving wave. If it was closer, I would post maps.

It’s coming down good now and temps have crashed to freezing. Doubt we get much but good chance of waking up to whitish now

I’ve had snow here for about an hour. It’s very light but steadily falling. Looks nice with the Christmas lights.

Has the long term decline been unmistakable? It's been a drought over the last 5 years but that was following an 18 year period of one of the snowiest eras ever recorded in the metro area. What's unmistakable is the warming temperatures but I don't think a 5 year period is enough of a sample size to declare that snowfall is now in a long term decline.

You should easily. Maybe 5

Real temps behind that fall to -10F in some places and -20F for WCs. Fun run. Unlikely we see that every run, but fun!

Thanks for this Don. It must have been even more common prior to 1970, as I believe 100% of the above average snowfall winters from 1970 to 1999 had at least one 8 inch snowfall.

I’ve been decorating Christmas trees for many years. Today was the only day I remember it snowing while I put the lights on the tree. Pandora played Christmas music and it was a day to remember! Probably banter, move if necessary.

More of an up and in event.

Not bad for a forecasted 1-2" event! Currently 25 with light snow in Wolf. Sent from my Pixel 10 Pro using Tapatalk

31.3, I'm thinking 8 inches now looking at the radar.

The end of that 18z GFS run would make for some tough sledding on the 24th.

Lets try that again, and this time NOT in centimeters. In my haste I clicked centimeters. Up to 30" of 10:1 snow. Most assuredly, if that wasn't Digital snow, that would be much more due to higher rates due to colder air. 40" Kuchera in W VA.

Radar looks like its pivoting a bit. Might be the coastal cranking. Heavier here again. Could make a run at 4

Down to 5.9/-0.4°F, We're going sub zero tonight.
