If it isn't going to snow, 40's and 50's are fine with me. Atleast it's warm enough to go outside to get away from family when needed.

Absolutely. Models insist on temps being cold all the way up. Go Skynet!

We had quite a few spots with lows in the single digits. The lowest was the 3.8 degrees at Warwick Township. The sun returns today and we should see some melting of the snow but with high temperatures remaining below freezing and the low sun angle it will be limited. Our much colder than normal December continues before we finally warm up to above normal on Thursday and Friday with rain arriving on Thursday night. Expect some fog over the melting snow with this system and most of the snow cover will be gone by Friday morning. Rain amounts could approach an inch in some spots. Looking ahead to Christmas week temperatures look to be not too far from normal for Christmas, but chances of a White Christmas look slim.

Wow, it got cooler way later yesterday evening vs the day before, so I figured it wouldn’t be quite as cold. I was proven very wrong when I woke up this morning lol.

Rain Thu overnight into Fri with upwards of an inch. Colder on Saturday before moderating again on Sunday. Beyond Christmas and through the end of the month a bit back and forth overall near normal with a storm threat in the 29 - 30 period.

Worcester, PA 8 degrees. I'm in a cold spot and the combo of snow on the ground and no wind.

I’ve been in the snow to ice camp . Possibly the 23rd.. but more likely Xmas Day

Oh boy...pope is chiming in; this should be about as refreshing as morning breath.

Never too late to get back into it. I still shoot film.

Ai ensembles looked half decent. Lots of HP to our north for events. We just have to hope for half ass shortwaves in the flow because if one is strong enough we’re in shorts.

Just get us through Friday. Yuck.

3 good and 3 bad winters snowfall wise. Nice even split.

17.4°

14 degrees before Christmas is impressive. Hopefully that wasn't our deep winter for the season lol

18 years ago today, the best SWFE that god ever created was upon us.

It’s definitely not hopeless.

15 Second morning in a row Let the warm up begin.

I mean, it's not hopeless....which in and of itself is all you can ask for.

Gun-to-head...I think a lot of us pull a white xmas out of our rear stocking.

Noyes knows
