It's possible Christmas system is just a mess, or maybe more for CT and points SW? Almost like if 12/24 misses CT, 12/25 might work out etc. Either way...hopefully something widespread of an inch or more for many.
NAM sort of shows this (not sure if real), but I guess the weenie in me sort of hopes for that light erly flow at like 925-850 where it's still cold with cold N winds at the surface to keep the weenie flakes going.
Maybe we can give this a little boost as it exits stage right. 925 winds are coming right into the S coast from those mild SSTs. Some guidance has shown a local boost there and onto the Cape.
The ensembles still show a lot of light precip later Christmas and into the 26th so that tells me a lot to resolve. In any case, latitude matters. You'll have a better chance of retaining than Kevin because the cold is lurking near the border. Unless somehow you get a coating and he gets 2" or something like that.
