He always makes sure to include CT in his misery . Without fail . Even though totally different climates

Feels like a weaker 2023, also on a Friday, also our company Christmas party, also rain and wind. Pack is definitely taking a big bit on Dryslot land, hoping when I return home around 7pm I have a few inch pack left that will turn into a glacier tomorrow

Crazy how much colder AI GfS is at 12z than the OP.

The pattern regression is quite impressive. There's no more being on the fence about that, the warm air will be pushing through this region and will likely result in the last 10 days of december being a few degrees above normal. Despite the -NAO, there's no opportunity for snow because no snow storms can form due to the coast to coast torch across CONUS. This is one of the quickest pattern regressions I've ever seen. All the calls for renewed cold air after this "brief" warmup will likely be very inaccurate. It'll take some pacific jet extension to shake this up, or there's a January 2020 and January 2023 repeat coming right up

That’s how we roll!

We've steepened up the 2-6km lapse rates well. Gusts here in Springfield are becoming more frequent and a bit stronger too. Really curious to see what the next 1-2 hours brings, especially with the thinning overcast on satellite.

Man, the emotional roller coaster. Some things never change, from the eastern/AccuWeather days to now.

CT does fine too except maybe south coast has some issues.

Last time DCA got more than an inch in December the following March had measurable snow.

16? wow I had a borderline one a couple years ago because of OES..it was a sloppy coating, but other areas of Cape/MVY had a lot more. I would take flakes in the air and wintry appeal but losing that it seems. Ah well.

Would be nice if AI had a clue

Went from the highest of highs two days ago to the lowest of lows today. Welcome to AmericanWX!

Sun peaking through. Biggest winds are done for the immediate area.

Squall line was legit up here. Had some big gusts right on the edge of the front and then sheets of rain. I learned I'm fairly protected from westerly/southerly winds by the wooded area in the backyard but KSLK gusted to 61. The pack barely hung on. Temperature crashed immediately. Temp dropped from 50.8 to 40.3 in 30 minutes. Down to 34.5 now with snow.

Interior NOP looks like a decent spot. Looking like we’ll get our 16th year in a row without a white Christmas here. truly incredible stuff

How’s ACTATT looking?

48mph peak gust at my house

Just had a rescue call on this mess older guy basically fell and was blown across road by he didn't wanna go to hospital. Scary parking under screaming trees

Ggem Is a really nice shot of snow for interior. Prob 2-3”. SE areas are prob cooked after an initial burst perhaps. Hard to keep it frozen on S winds.

I think the totals submitted in the contest thread are mostly too optimistic. I stayed below climo, but to even hit my own predictions we need a couple of hits in Jan or Feb.

Power on and off 10 times at work in Danielson. My backyard cam . That leaning tree wasn't. Thankfully headed in the woods and not our new chicken coops Screen_Recording_20251219_112710_Ring.mp4

They correctly picked up hints of a colder pattern before the real cold came first half of Dec. Same thing happened last Jan. While I take weeklies with a grain (heap) of salt, they may be onto something here. An extreme -PNA doesn’t usually last, it’ll revert to at least neutral if not positive.

Oh please, no March 2001. I would not wish that on any snow lover. I'd prefer March 2017 as an analog.

And power is out down here. 28k+ without power in CT at last check. .

I hope so...to get to the more optimistic totals we're gonna have to jam in some events over those 3 weeks, and hope to get a little something in March.
