I hear you, it’s far from ideal, but nobody cares about anything other than Dec 24 & 25. Given recent years, it just needs to not be awful. If there are snow showers at 30° on Christmas Day that coat the ground, nobody cares about 50° and rain on Dec 26. It’s weird, but that’s what it is for most I would imagine.

12 degrees here in Smithsburg.

Currently 19.4 after a midnight high of 36.5

It's 2.8 here with well over a foot otg. If it were to clear out and go calm, I would end up well below zero.

Just don’t break down on the way to, or back from wherever you’re going in those silly shorts in negative F temps …or your Fu**ed. Tough lesson to learn if the unexpected happens.

20.8

Depends on who you ask. My kids will gladly wear shorts to school in negative single digit temps. They’re essentially feral.

He’s very volatile…all over the map lately. Hate to see it. Maybe Junior can calm him down..

:x

This is the station closest to me that same date.

Shit poster too.

Yeah. I see you found it. Yeah, that would have been the 2 I recall although Pennington itself got 6 from the first one. I don't recall the Feb. One's being what is shows but could of been at that location. I was thinking more 70s in Feb but apparently it was a long stretch of upper 60s and a 70 there. As you can see snowfall was below average. Average in Pennington then was 19.7" as I recall.

shit winter :d

This is the 2nd snow in Pennington Gap in January 84. There is a 3 inch two days before.

Down to 13 now. It's been a heck of a winter run since Dec 1st. Nice to know we can still get legit fast starts. Dec has been a punt month for years lately

Damn it's icy out there, lots of snow and ice with no treatment. i'm so ruined

It’s a lousy pattern…even if we sneak cold shots in and average normal. If you hate warmth, just be happy that ridge axis is shaping up more towards the MS valley. Maybe we can luck out, but it’s not great.

You were hopeful for the days leading up to xmas just last night....

onto 2026 and 2027 etc! 2025 cooked

Here's Pennington. It was recorded at the Water Plant right on the banks of Powell River so, doesn't do Pennington gap itself justice really. https://www.ncei.noaa.gov/access/past-weather/Pennington gap VA

I don't have any social media outside of LinkedIn. Nothing else. I don't watch or follow any news outlets. The last person who is influenced by social media is muwah. Having said all of that I fail to see your point. What I did see (read) was a random, uncalled for attack on one of our posters. At the end of the day - we are all different. We're all shaped from our various backgrounds, beliefs, values, etc. Are there people here (and in real life) that make me wince? Absolutely. I'm sure I have that affect on others as well. I talk about this stuff for a living. And one thing I always stress is the fact that once we speak or act out of line, we're now part of the problem. And I think if you have a beef with someone there's a better way to address it than a verbal attack. I'm sure not everyone buys into my thought process but I'd argue that one look at society today proves my point. We are collectively a society that has turned it's back on respecting others.

The official record for Pennington Gap shows 2 events, a 3 and 4 inch event two days later. No idea if it's accurate or not. Shows them on the 16th and 18th. The cold front passage was one for the books. It was 63 here one day and had fallen to 1 the next day at midnight.

Take care of yourself Walt and thank you for all of your posts and work that you have done it was and is appreciated,,,,chime in when you can

Give em a day…

That’s awesome..enjoy. 2” here in interior CT west of the river. But it’s white cold and festive.
