Lol, I wish that I was still that young some days!
I am 44 years old with a wife, 2 daughters (8 & 10 years old) , a dog, a house & a job!
I also happen to love the weather, with a particular fascination for snow!
Merry Christmas!
Yes, it’s good to see the storm on the Euro as well at this range. It is nice to see the storm passing off to the south for now with cold air entrenched.
This might finally be our first chance at a widespread Winter event on the 2nd or 3rd.
I see plenty of cold in the long range on the GFS.
Look at how the run ends. The trough is in the east with a pipeline of Cold Highs to the north and northwest that are feeding in.
Very nice look with the storm transferring offshore by the time it reaches our latitude.
Like you and @paweather said, plenty of time for some small changes to get a good snow hit here on the 2nd & 3rd.
