BWI too. (Don't want to become a complainer, but it's just so predictable now. )

Luckily, very little snow in Franklin County today so everything should be like glass after the rain. Folks are out on the ice fishing everywhere. I’m might walk out on Barton Cove tomorrow with the chisel to see how much ice there is. Guessing it’s probably 4 to 6 inches. There’s already a few pop-up shanties set up out there.

9pm 19F . NW 19 WC 4 The post noon high was 27.8 which would be a record if it was The high . That’s a -20 departure which are hard to come by round these here parts

I spotted a small snow roller by the house

I absolutely love Canderson. Other than his baseball team.

Zzzzzz

Absolutely insane sound effect snow band .

(To the tune of “Silver and Gold” by Burl Ives) “Inverted trough, inverted trough. Everyone wishes for inverted troughs. How does one measure its worth? Another 3-6” of snow on the earth.”

Back to tracking… The 18z GFS this run shows the chance of a Christmas Day icy mix.

Thanks so much Walt for your thoughts, insights, and efforts along with teaching us so much here. Best of health and joy to you and your family. Please jump in any time you feel. All the best!

Should be near six

I second this haha. We have a couple, how shall I say, “characters” on the board these days. They need to learn how to assimilate.

As we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don't know we don't know.

I think at the very least this winter will be okay. It's not often that we've tracked 4 legit threats for VA by mid month, alongside that we've had some favorable teleconnections and a general willingness to have cold air break south since fall. No matter what we've already avoided a completely nonexistent winter!

Whooeeeee it's just plain cold out there!

Right around 4.5" in Barnstable at the moment. Will see if we can sneak out another 1" before it wraps up.

I think people sometimes get too worked up over these storms, usually someone venting and it's nothing personal It happens every storm. Canderson a respected poster!

If I handled your 401k you would be way up my friend

It seems like all the la nina/-ENSO years that end in 5 or 0 are cold in December. See 1995, 2000, 2005, and 2010. The only one one that wasn't cold was 2020, and we got a snowstorm mid-month.

It drives me nuts but not nearly as bad as seeing it snow weekly in the winter 20 miles from my house as the crow flies while I bask in the sun

That will come soon

Definitely more staying power on mid-Cape based on the trajectory. almost done with here. You should get 2"+ with this. I'll have to measure in a bit when I get a chance

Thanks, Mitch. For the MidAtlantic, I roughly estimate 55% AN vs 45% BN. So, quite mixed as you’re implying. Thus, the predictability for Christmas and other days nearby is pretty low.

Lol right! Freeze your nickers off!
