sugar coating on a great holiday season weatherwise and it was great to have the early wintery feel for December. Not much snow OTG here in lanco, but many norther westers have enjoyed it since Turkey day (not quite entire time, but most of it anyway)Jan thaw next week but Winter looms beyond. Here's to health and happiness in 2026.

3 days in a row. yeah...my wires dont alwasy touch. My cheeks look like santas after his annual trek round the world. Takin today off. Lotsa miles on my boots and I'm not compainin. Glad that I can do it. Today was total gym and ab roller (done), so now headed into work for a couple hours (even though I'm technically "off"). To all my pals here, happy NYE, and all the best in the New Year.

and thats fine, but when you admit you have a bias, its hard to not view w/ a tad of skepticism (for those of us who have a modicum of weather knowledge, but to the peeps that just read, and go off thinking whatever is posted is happening, that can be trouble. I'd just say its up in the air.....

quite frankly dont give a rats ass what he wishes for and yeah, he's wordsmithing his warm bias into it as shared above. Just call it like you see it, and keep opinions to self. IF he wasnt a pro, and just a weenie like most of us, and wants to come in here w/ his warm bias, thats fine, but public sector weighs heavily on his "opines". We live in an information era, and peeps rely far too much on other peeps "opines", and can get caught off guard. Out in woods most of the day. Face looks just a tad windburnt. Stopped to see my mom and she all but freaked and said, honey your blood pressure must be terrible. lol

yeah what he said. 1 to 2 feet. sounds like multiple bouts of LES and the snow hose will vascillate for the whole week. Man that'd be awesome.

Meanwhile on the Tug Hill plateau.... URGENT - WINTER WEATHER MESSAGE National Weather Service Buffalo NY 1256 PM EST Sun Dec 28 2025 NYZ006>008-290700- /O.CON.KBUF.WS.W.0006.251229T2100Z-260103T1200Z/ /O.CON.KBUF.WW.Y.0042.251228T2100Z-251229T1500Z/ Oswego-Jefferson-Lewis- Including the cities of Oswego, Watertown, and Lowville 1256 PM EST Sun Dec 28 2025 ...WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 4 PM THIS AFTERNOON TO 10 AM EST MONDAY... ...WINTER STORM WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 4 PM MONDAY TO 7 AM EST SATURDAY...

I just checked. all local zips in region are at 28

28 is what i've seen on several sites for harrisburg. good try tho

its mine as well. Steady pingers have commenced. Winter time version of pingers on a tin roof is much better than summer time rain on same roof.

Ok Joes 4 n 1 brethren....Love that friggin grill, stick smokin awesome built meat cooker. I've had mine 10 yrs old and goin strong. stick smokin took me a bit to get used to, but i'm getting there. My Green Mtn pellet does a nice job, and is easier to cook on, but man, you just can NOT beat the flaver a stick burner puts out. Enjoy. Oh.... and ice glaze w/ zr/ip mix earlier. In a lull now but happy hour looks less happy for any on the roads. Be safe and happy holidays all.

could also be byproduct of being SE of them there mtns and not having the forcing mechanism as it is only a 1005-8 mb slp, so qpf might not be crazy without good forcing down here in the perverbial jip zone. I'm still rooting on the weaker option so that whatever falls has less WAA to worry about.

While it is a tad concerning, based on SLP being a tick S of 6z when the goods are in the hood, i'd not worry too much. qpf distribution is driven more by SLP placement and going to weeble wooble a bit. IF the future runs do the norther shift, then you n I need to worry more.

thats my hopes as well and if tomorrow night cools enough, we could get our wish. NWS currently has me down to 22, but if clouds come in soon enough, they could cap how cold we get. Thinkin we'll be ok, and happy to see one sneak up on us. I was surely a skeptic.

not sure bout yall's back yards, but mine has a notable permafrost layer that the top layer thaws during the day, but is resolidified at night. I'm guessing this may factor into CTP's forecast concerns for the ZR/Ip that may fall, as it may have some "stickage". Eveni if it doesnt verify, its good on them to hoist the warning flags due to travel concerns as even if "they are wrong, they are getting it right for traveler awareness as this one is sneaking in the backdoor so to speak.

Ive seen enough to be getting a bit more excited for some winter weather on Friday. I admit I've been a skeptic on this evolution, but have been suggesting that the pattern is gettin less hostile for us as the NAO trends neg., but man this is how you shoehorn an event into our sub. If we can eek out a little white before the pingerfest...that'd be a huge win for many.
