At 0.1" of snow for this month right now. Currently tied for 2nd least snowiest January with 1989.

Today's CFSv2 weeklies hold off any cold until the beginning of February

First cold December since 2022. Finished with 9.9" of snow for the month, and currently at 14.6" for the season to date.

Decent forecast. Happy New Year ev1!  

New Year's Day's looking like a repeat of last year's, actually the past several New Year's Days. Overcast again, though mainly dry.

The first third of the month's certainly not good. TWC/Wunderground's wanting first full week of January to be repeats of Januaries 1998 and 2023 with a blowtorch.

I woke to a new snowpack that basically in 24hr restored most of what I lost during the major rain and thaw . Intense LES band over me currently giving major vibes! Suppose to get 1-2" but hoping for more if we're going to be smothered in snow anyhow. I can't stop looking out the window at the pour 

Flakes still going on for 18 hours straight and counting without any signs of letting up very soon. Might as well keep them coming through the entire day today.

The new year is near, but things look rather boring during the first half of January before even anticipating a real pattern change afterwards. Discuss.

Wow, 66 tomorrow? Would be a new record for Dayton.  Have to imagine at least a few breaks of sun occur tomorrow to get that warm.

 

Any sun is not happening for Sunday, according to NWS and TWC/Wunderground. Can expect the high of 66 to be a nighttime high.

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.

626 PM EST SUN DEC 14 2025

...RECORD LOW MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE SET AT DAYTON OH...

A RECORD LOW MAXIMUM TEMPERATURE OF 10 DEGREES WAS SET AT DAYTON OH 
TODAY. THIS BREAKS THE OLD RECORD OF 16 DEGREES SET IN 1917.

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.

Another crappy weekend. Unusual to have 2 weekends in a row without any sun, for sure. Better be just coincidence.

Slight warmup and maybe some mixed/liquid precipitation midweek to ensure we go full glacier with the next arctic blast. 

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.

January will deliver guaranteed 

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

You don't do well in ++NAO/-PNA either

We may have to wait until the 2nd half of December for snowfall. 

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

Long as that doesn't mean winter hangs around till the end of April the following year like it did then.

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