That was a full on Grinch. No question. Regardless of snow cover or not(Would've been even worse with more snow on ground). Just sucked the life out of the holiday mood.
What a dreadful look for Christmas on GFS. Raging rain storm with a raw warmish NE wind. Good god. Lets hope it's junk but with our luck, that will be the solution.
The 20-25th period has legs. I think conditions will be favourable with marginal airmass and several s/w’s in the flow. Period to watch. You guys might grab the 17th. To warm here on that one
I argue that the "hostile" period might only be a couple of days AN. Looks like cold building in at the end of the OP GFS around the 21st and maybe a festive miracle. We pray
This is what i meant by encouraging signs. Long range ensembles want to torch but it gets watered down as it moves into the midrange. This is the pattern persistence we watch for.
Finished with 3.7" (9cms). Not bad for the first shot of winter. Cold this morning with w/c and snow otg. Felt like legit January morning. Warm up this weekend.
Congrats to those getting their first snow. We are getting our first taste of winter here. Steady snow. 3/4 to a mile stuff. This would be amongst the earliest accumulations that I can remember.
Social media........The downfall of humanity. Turned most in to unsympathetic selfish opinionated arseholes. Causes folks to be edgy and abrasive. That ain't going away. Snif'
