Just watched Ryan…he’s got about 50 to mid 50’s for the highest winds…that’s pretty meh overall Kev.  You know the deal with this stuff…take the under. 

I don't think 55 is meh when you look at your yard the next day and you hopefully keep electric.

Love the Meh’s. Likely to be a lot of “ holy shit at the wind “ trees down etc posts Friday morning as all hell breaks loose 

I agree, might not hit 60 mph but they'll be a mess in our yards.

I mean if worse case scenario is realized great idea. But it will 90% just be a waste of a day off and will piss off parents off even more if winds underperform . We were planning on wrapping Friday and what not while they were in school so much for that. 

My parent used to do it Christmas Eve while we were in bed supposedly sleeping, I could hear the paper and scotch tape noises all night til I fell asleep.

I checked out for a couple of days.....can't believe this thread is still going.

Still a decent storm, not snow for us but some folks will cash in for Christmas.

The was supposedly a terrible pattern, and looked what happened. Whamoooo

I thought Will said it was good, at least good near the end of January.

They’re in my trunk. I played a week ago when it was 45f with full sun and no wind, and it was just fine. The way seasons are going nowadays, we play all year round.

I think it was 2008 we played New Year's Eve, but winter hit shortly after, and we ended up having a pretty good year after all.

Boxing Day was a bust and gone out to sea until 1.5-2.0 days before, when the GFS brought it back out of the blue.  And then it dry slotted alot of us, and absolutely Crushed NYC and Jersey.  Then it melted completely 4 days later on a Rainey warm NYE.  Not the best start that year either.  

I got dry slotted on Boxing Day too, that was a weird storm but did portend things to come.

Just now, tavwtby said:

didn't that season start with boxing day storm, iirc, melts were epic leading up to that too, far different scenarios yeah, but I hear ya, if it ain't cold and white for Christmas, it's a bummer...for us old enough it's a reminder of those 80s Christmas winters where it's 50 and raining, last good Christmas I can recall I think was early 2000s I remember thunder snow on Christmas, believe ALY area got crushed, maybe there's one more recent I can't recall...Will??

I know we had a couple in the 90's even had snow on Thanksgiving one year. Need Will to tell us the years though.

To those that say "winter's over" or "winter's cancelled", check the years 1978 and 2015, among others, where for many of us our big snows came in later January into February.  Keep hope alive...

Don't even have to go that far back, 2015 was all late, 2011 started I think Jan 11th or 12th. People just want a cold white Christmas and when we don't get that, get disappointed this early, me included.

I'm just flabbergasted.....it was tied!

Most bizarre finish I've seen with the TD called good when his foot was out of bounds to that last play.

Not a lot of snow left here but still some nice views from the top of Justice Hill today. 

 

At least it looks like winter, looks like fall here.

Yup… gunna bite the bullet 

I just 4 new tires a couple months ago. there's a guy near me that does just tires so he deals in high quantity, I got all 4 for $550. Other places were quoting me $600-700.

At around 12:30 we had 11". I saw a couple miles north of us reported 15" and the Gray office reported 6.3". Its been rain, snow, freezing rain since and the pack is all of 5-6" now.

Took a drive to grab some junk food and the roads are freezing up fast. I was being careful and still slid past our driveway. Hope people realize and stay off the roads tonight.

My sister said a dusting in York but I saw 4-5 inches in the Old Orchard Kennebunk area.

Patience grasshoppers, this pattern will get us eventually, not when we want it to, when it wants to.

You quitting in day 7? Day 7?

If the models continue to show this solution for the next few days the media is going to pick it up and go wild with it since it coincides with Christmas travel.  Then watch..... things don't phase as shown and this ends up being much weaker or develop well out to sea and being a nothing burger.  Mets will have egg on their face.  I wish this was 4 or 5 days out and not 7.  I will say (if I remember correctly) the big epic storms like 78 or 1993 were forecasted well in advance I believe since so many models were honking days before the event.

The 93 storm too was forecast many days in advance.

The radar is going to look snowy for a long time because aloft supports snow until around midday there. It’ll lose the snow texture in CT a bit earlier but the problem in this event for a good chunk of it is low level temps and not aloft…much of the precip is done by the time 850-875 warm above freezing. 
 

The radar is shooting that beam a few thousand feet aloft by the time it reaches central areas. 

We will end up net positive on snow?

Looking at radar even though it's misting here looks like it may start as snow. 

It's been misting for a couple hours here.

The Canadian has a 962mb miller B nor’easter just off the cape. Frigid airmass as well.

I'd love a big storm, we all would, just don't know how I feel about getting one on Christmas eve/Christmas day, would cause a lot of travel problems for people. I remember getting a decent one on Christmas when I was a kid, woke up to a decent amount of snow overnight. Will probably knows when and how much, I don't remember.

I literally drive one mile to work, so I hear ya, but when you love winter sports as you and I do, the truck is indispensable.  The all wheel drive sedans are good, but what stops them is ground clearance. Once the snow gets too deep…it lifts them up from the underneath, and no more traction and it’s game over.  With a 4 wheel drive full size pick up(and they’re gorgeous now), that becomes almost a non issue for the most part.  You wouldn’t be worried about getting up to the slopes Saturday that’s for sure. 

In the 92 storm my brother-in-law and I took a ride to a high spot in Charlton, the snow was so high his Toyota Tacoma 4 WD got stuck the snow was so deep. I think you needed a monster truck to get through some spots in that storm.

You might have a really good year in your new spot. I'll be in my same old spot sweating model runs.
