About 2” here.

Ok. I’m clueless. When did they start using end zone pylons for first down markers?

Expected 2", got 4". Driveway shovel pile shaping has begun.

Very nice read from respected Met Mike Masco about. Models pulling back on the idea of a torch Christmas!!

Nice to see Allen getting sacked multiple times

4" here

Really looking forward to the Rams-Lions game. Love watching a well coached team that plays sound football and wins, that being the Rams. Stafford is so good. Incredible at age 37 and with his chronic back issues. Lions are teetering and really need this one.

You're my early warning detection lol. I got under that band and had over an inch in about 20 minutes and the temp fell to 7. Days like this make all life's problems kinda melt away (no pun intended). Great pic.

I think I went 19-29" for CPK.

Indeed

I have really lost interest in this team. Just have it on in the background out of habit.

Not much melting going on with temps falling into the mid 20s and that low mid Dec sun.

@Bob Chilli should have caveat’d to say so far this winter GFS has done better with NAO vs AO. Obviously both being neg is preferable but I guess I like NAO more cause it jams up the ATL closer to us which for me means HPs can’t slide east so quick. We’ve had AOs be neg but be in locations that don’t help as much. Basically I want anything that gives us snow. AO, NAO, PNA, WPO, DIY, WTF, SOS. Gnat farts in Mongolia work too

Yawn

I feel better now

But Faaleleleleleleeeeeee is GOOOD!

Bitterly cold last night for an outdoor Christmas event, but thought this was a neat shot

And Pats TDs

I was thinking this would be a great event out there, but this overperformed even my expectations. Solid start to perhaps another snowy season out there! I need to make another trip out.

I don't see much to be excited about. CAD could keep us from torching but no winter weather threats on the horizon.

Stubborn coach, a good GM who royally screwed up, smh

RRFS for the win out here!

Larry Cosgrove: “ With many model forecasts and human projections of a major warm-up across the lower 48 states for the holiday period, those like me who want a big cold wave or heavy snow and ice event have to wait out at least 6 days of some cases of record warmth before an Arctic intrusion returns to the lower 48 states. The question is, could the warmth last further? If you based odds on the model guidance alone, the odds on a cAk placement below the Canadian border are about 3 in 7. The American and European series are closest to the analog support, but the GEFS and ECMWF versions have members that show a return to a broad +PNA/-AO/-NAO signature that would return the eastern half of the continent to an extremely cold scenario with chances for snow in the Great Lakes and the Eastern Seaboard. Cautions I apply to the forecast: do NOT make assumptions based on the Madden-Julian Oscillation predictions (see what I mean about all of that "Phase 8" nonsense that was the talk of the internet?). Remind yourself that for an MJO cold influence in North America, the lead impulse should be between Phases 6 and 1, be very strong, and have at least some connection to the polar westerlies. The numerical model Wheeler diagrams are not useful in this regard. Also, for a Sudden Stratospheric Warming alteration in sensible weather, consider that the 10MB warm anomaly should be on the American side of the North Pole, should foreshadow a high-latitude blocking signature and will occur 2 to 4 weeks following the SSW. You would want to see either some splitting or persistent positioning of the warming pool. Using previous stratospheric warming projections, I suspect that the lower 48 states are going to feel another cold wave in the Christmas/New Year hammock week, and maybe 5 to 7 days beyond. On the idea that we see a climatologically-favored "January Thaw, the middle of next month could be as warm as what we are looking at by this weekend. But I concur with the analog set that the latter third of the first month of the new year will turn quite cold, perhaps lasting through February with better potential for ice, snow further south and east than before. Clues to look at: the expanded snow and ice cover, similarities to 2007 and 2024-25. Around Christmas or shortly thereafter, winter should fight its way back into the U.S.”

Around 1", about as expected
