When was there ever a previous December that any sunshine occurred for more than a week straight? Since the 14th right after the snowstorm the day before, every single day had some sun, even when there were few days with any measurable precipitation or above-normal temps (especially yesterday's "Torchmas") during that stretch. Incredibly unreal, isn't it? Today, however, it all changed. Today was the first overcast day since the snowstorm back on the 13th and looks like we may very well be done with any sunshine heading into the new year. If this is the beginning of an upcoming longest overcast stretch of the season we're heading for, TWC/Wunderground is trying to be pushy about it. Other than the rainstorm Sunday, pretty much ZZZZZZZZZ.

Dropped down to -2 this morning, the lowest temp of this season so far. Hasn't been our month for a lot of sun so far, but today happens to be the sunniest day of the month.

Got 3.7" of snow from it. Now at double digits with 12.6" for the season.

Christmas torch still holding strong on the 12z Euro, only for the cold to return just after Christmas

00z Euro hinting a juicy clipper for Friday. The 00z GFS isn't buying it.

6-10 day: 8-14 day:

Another crappy weekend. Unusual to have 2 weekends in a row without any sun, for sure. Better be just coincidence. The upcoming week is garbage. Get ready to have bare ground when the "Arctic" blast occurs next weekend. The expected December to remember is about to become a December to forget.

This thread should actually be extended to December 2nd (Tuesday) since it would last through at least that said morning. Not much on the 12z Euro: A bit juicy on the 00z NAM: So-so on the 18z GFS:

The coldest low of the 1st third, if not the 1st half of December, look to be in the upper teens. Not much of a temperature spread, snow events or sun there. Looking like a colder version of December 2014, so far.

Only got 0.6" of snow, only to be melted away overnight

A nice Friday on this being of those weeks of not much sun for the final week of November which will be followed by a crappy final weekend of the month.

December's looking bad according to today's CFS v2 weeklies.

December is looking like a write-off. Today's CFS v2 weeklies are a blowtorch all the way.

Which was followed by a cool summer that same following year.

Garbage pattern over the next week or so starting tomorrow, sure. The 06z and 12z GFS runs lost the cold throughout those two whole runs.

Shades of November 2018....

Last October was the 3rd driest on record. This October was the 10th wettest on record with 4.82" for the month. Top 10 Wettest Octobers: 1. 7.08" - 1919 2. 6.35" - 1941 3. 6.25" - 1986 4. 5.98" - 1990 5. 5.74" - 2013 6. 5.65" - 1995 7. 5.54" - 1983 8. 5.46" - 1926 9. 4.99" - 2001 10. 4.82" - 2025

Garbage pattern starting to take place in order to close off the month. Get ready to be stuck in the 40s all day over the next few days, especially with soaking rains.

Dropped to 32 this morning

A RECORD DAILY MAXIMUM RAINFALL WAS SET AT DAYTON OHIO ON OCTOBER 7. A TOTAL OF 2.45 INCHES OF RAINFALL WAS RECORDED. THIS BREAKS THE OLD RECORD FOR OCT 7 OF 1.72 INCHES...SET IN 1931. $$ HATZOS Biblical soaker, for sure. That much rain in one day during the first days of October, is this a harbinger of what's to come later in the month?
