Unless your name is Ji. Go big or go home.

Anything under 6 inches is a nuisance snow.

Had a trace of snow grains on my deck this morning. December wasn't a shutout! Lol!

Can we extrapolate the nam yet?

Squirrels, foxes, and deer were out in the masses getting food.. They must know something is up! 

6z does some great screw us things. Trends look bad

Gfs changed pretty significantly!

FREE SPEECH!!! FREE SPEECH!!! Don't you go trampling on my First Amendment rights. So you better take a step back before you do something you might regret. 

No step backs on free speech! 

@Ji Scale:

SN+ for at least 5 hours
SN for a total of 10 hours
Measurable snow starts at 6" otherwise it is a nuisance event
A snow storm is anything above 12" unless we have wicked winds and SN+ for most of the snow between 6 and 12"
A flip to anything but snow could be considered a fail.

In Leesburg.. Was intense winds.. Wow. Winding down now.. 

CPC Seeing the colder than normal

For the visuals only!

Why do Mid Atlantic people hate others coming into your subforum but other subforums don't care?

Weird people

Anyway take care everyone

It probably depends on who it is!

This looks a little different from yesterday's Happy Hour! I do see the CAD set up - something frozen is better than none for some!

No one noted that euro has two light events around Xmas that are close for the M/D like crew. Euro also splits the strat vortex around D10 like the GFs.

Tony Pann will be all over it! LOL!!

At the end of the 12z eps it's the best h5 look I've seen in over a week. Especially in the npac. Not great or optimal but if it's the direction we're going then it will calm some nerves around here. 

Until then, heavy eggnog!

The problem continues to be who knows where the SSW impacts.    Remember there have been disastrous SSWs before where they impact Alaska or the western US and we go into a full blown torch.  December 1990 and February 1989 I believe we’re both examples of SSWs that did this.  Sometimes having it impact Europe or Siberia isn’t the worst thing for us because the entire polar region setup is disrupted hemisphere wide so we can still benefit here.  Of course January 2012 is an example of one that impacted Europe and did nothing here at all

Exactly right! When we rely on SSW we are in trouble because we do not have a clue who reaps the benefits. I remember both the above! Great points! Let's hope it is us. I would rather hope for typical patterns that help us and hope the SSW does not screw them up! 

Flood warning just posted. Little swimming pool in my back yard

So another ark moment around Christmas and then a heat wave. Great.. The Grinch stole Christmas 

Well dang! Time to go guzzle some eggnog!

I think there is a general trend to crappy - how we get there is in debate..how long we stay there is based on how bad of a pattern we are talking. As far as a big rainstorm, you can bet that will happen! We only struggle to get moisture when it is cold. Working on shattering every rain record we can!

@WxUSAF and @Superstorm all pointing out the Screaming! One of these systems (if they happen) should be called John Jacob Engleheimer Schmidt
