Can't believe the GFS caved to the Euro and UK. The 06z NAM run has gotten worse. Similar analogs of a cold Christmas with very little to no accumulation include Christmas 1998 and Christmas 1999.

Another overcast Monday. Every Monday this month, as well as the final day of November, was overcast. Going to be one of those weeks. May very well have to wait for any sunshine until Saturday.

Looks like the 00z GFS has now.

Or end up with single-digit snowfall totals heading into March. Last January tied for the 7th least snowiest January on record with 1908 of only 0.9 inches. A few events last February saved the season from ending up with single-digit snowfall totals.

This thread should be renamed as the Christmas Eve 2020 Grinch Storm. Christmas Eve torch No low temps in the teens or below according to the Euro. 12z GFS: 18z GFS: 12z UK: 12z GDPS:

Another day of suicide weather and temps hovering around freezing. Another one ahead tomorrow.

The snowstorm of Nov 30-Dec 1 was already enough to prevent DAY and CMH from reaching the top 10 least snowiest Decembers on record. CVG, on the other hand, is currently tied for the 6th least snowiest December on record with 1994, 1987, 1938, and 1911. Heading into the long-range, we may very well escape December without any lows in the teens. Top 5 Latest First Sub-20 Low Temp Readings for CVG: 1. January 31, 1932 2. January 18, 1882 3.
