@Bob Chillgonna be above climo by December 15 while Mt @psuhoffmanand Mt @mappywait on their first inch

CMC/ICON/NAM have all at times been close for Monday. I’m still too stubborn to give up on it.

Yes, sometimes these patterns take some time to come into their own so to speak, for our area at least.

3 great chances on the GFS and a strikeout for MBY

Well, soil temperatures won’t be a problem when snow falls

GFS has another threat next weekend.

About 1/4" temp jumped from 26F to 29F in the last hour...festive

Nice storm for the 12th. We have to watch that storm

Cold rain yesterday. Had a high of 46 and picked up .90".

35F with a rain shower and Catpaws mixed in here.

Pretty nice flurries here in Appalachia

funny you proffer this sentiment as conciliatory ... I've recently been thinking this exact same "patience" idea, but had 2014-2015 in mind, actually... What happened that late Dec ( after Xmas was wrapped up and tidily ruined with panache ...), is we started getting this torpedo flow with big cold situated just N of our latitude. Systems were riding along the ambient b-c axis, and we did go through about a 10 day to two-week period where we bit cold, followed by quick warm ups to rain...cold, rinse and repeat. I remember posting a sentiment that it was like "playing with fire" - interesting metaphor considering the 'fire' in the context of the times meant that should any of those wave get under our latitude, would make for a sudden change to a whole new world. Well .... oops. Things started going under our latitude - fine idea, then, but ... knowing when that's going to happen, if at all? yeah - patience perhaps... The problem with patience is that nature does not reward for good virtue. That's a human construct. I combat that by just tuning out - glancing at charts here and there for quick diagnosis', and also just to stay in sequence of events. That way I have a sense of knowing when things may finally break right, while at the same time I didn't give the prurient "real" god any satisfaction of having stolen life LOL.

Oh ok…well that sounds good. I think that’s the theme here..lots of energy bouncing around, with cold in place and nearby, we gotta just see if we get one or two to play ball.

Pretty good call here.

Had a cartopper here but it changed to a very miserable cold rain

The 80’s had very little snowcover bro..it just didn’t snow. So you believe what you want. You’ve had quite a few years there, that when a tick farted..you’d pull 10” to cover the mulch beds. So whatever. The 12th delivering some snow would be nice for all of us.

So many late 70's cutters. Even in Coal Country in NE Pennsylvania, saw many a New Year's Eve storm start out as snow, but eventually change over to a plain rain...

You are not long for this board.

Oh I just meant the overall look, not that particular storm.

That window seems interesting for somebody on the EC to maybe get something a little more substantial...but that's just my amateur eyes, and seeing an X Met mention that weekend, lol

12z GFS kinda funky lol. randomly drops a foot of snow in 9 hours on central VA

Next Thurs-Fri is looking a little bit interesting. Doesn’t look like anything big but if the clipper takes the right track we could get a 2-4” or 3-6” event.

Actually, I'll take the sugar coating from early this morning. No snow on the streets, but that didnt stop the Garwood DPW from salting. While the Garwood DPW always does a great job plowing, they HAVE to stop salting, unless absolutely necessary...

Hoping it materializes for the 12th (vs the 13th)
