Adam Joseph 6abc around 6pm on Facebook a couple hours ago: POST CHRISTMAS STORM First off, thankfully Christmas Eve & Christmas Day will be quiet! Santa will have some strong winds helping him make the rounds, and only a few sprinkles are expected near lunch on Christmas Day. Highs both days in the middle 40s. Now, to Friday!!! A piece of the nasty storm in California will break off and head across the country setting its eyes on the Mid Atlantic for Friday afternoon and night. The issue will be a large area of Artic High pressure in southern Canada. This will send down very cold air from the surface to thousands of feet up. Cold air is dense and heavy so it will be locked in as the storm arrives. The issue then becomes warm air trying to move in in the upper atmosphere as the storm ramps up. Warm air is light and buoyant, so it wants to settle where the precip forms in the storm in this kind of setup. Precip cannot turn to snow after it forms if the air temp is above freezing, so this is crucial in a mixed storm. Depending on the column of air temps from the layer where precip begins, to the ground will supply either rain (above freezing at all levels), freezing rain (shallow cold at only at surface), sleet (deep cold layer under the precip formation zone), and snow (below freezing at all levels). Our area will see all this mess.....the question this far out is where those areas set up. I do not see much rain with this system right now....more snow, sleet, and freezing rain. Some areas will see over 3" of snow! I will be off enjoying two days with my family and will be back to guide you through it all on Friday. Please tune it to Payton and Brittany for the latest. Just wanted to give you a heads up and my current thinking. Right now, this is our thinking and it will be fined tuned the next two days. Please share this in case people are not watching or on social at this time: TIMING: snow for all mid to late afternoon Friday HEAVIEST: falls near dark Friday through Midnight CHANGEOVER: Snow flips to ice in much of the area starting Friday evening. ALL SNOW: looks to be north of the PA Turnpike with less mixing with ice. AVOID TRAVELING: late Friday afternoon into Saturday morning.

Still have time to work on it says the average weenie... 36F

From the NYC subforum...

Ding ding ding! You may be the winner! I'd say .25" tops here...33F, just about done.

No pancakes here. More like Rice Krispies with an occasional cornflake. Grass, rooftops and sidewalks covered. Roads clear....looks festive though. 32F/light snow

Looking ahead temp wise to the EOM we will be -2 to -3 for the month when all is said and done, right? I don't keep stats but just seems like a cold Dec....

Ryan Hall, Y'all and the GFS...

Birds need to win the final two and Chicago needs to lose the final two. Then we are the second seed and two home playoff games. Bears final two games: SF, DET Birds final two games: BUF, WASH

Steve D, enough said....

Accu Weather super accurate Jan 2026 forecast. Besides a day or two a bunch of nothing going on...drought guy will not be happy.

Cloudy as well. I don't like a sunny Christmas. You can leave the outdoor lights on and people will be able to see them better...

Lock it in but I know we cannot be that lucky... 32F

Down to 35 F here, dropping and with the winds, just beautiful...

I'd be on pins and needles if this were to happen tomorrow night during this time frame and probably head to the bar who most likely have a backup generator. Birds game time tomorrow/Saturday at 5:00 p.m....

Haven't really visited the Mid-Atlantic threads this year but I would put the over/under Ji cancels at 5 so far and it's not even officially winter yet... (Met winter,yes)

On this date in the swirling snow of Shibe Park, the Philadelphia Eagles won their first NFL Championship, grinding out a 7–0 victory built on toughness, defense, and pure Philly grit. It wasn’t flashy, it wasn’t easy, but it was everything this city is made of. That frozen December afternoon became the foundation of Eagles football. A reminder that Philly has always earned its greatness the hard way. Fly Eagles Fly

Big fan of resetting 5-10 clocks multiple times a day because of power outages. Great fun! You would think in this day and age every appliance, every clock has a battery chip like a PC or laptop which retains the time even with a power outage which you usually only have to replace once a year. Most outages are short as in less than 2 hours...

Sun popped out in a big bright way and said hello so I guess now it's cold and wind then sunset. Should be limited black ice considering the wind is drying everything out quickly....

A punt in this stuff at the linc would probably net negative yardage...

Winds have arrived in full force....

The past two years have been the most windiest period in my lifetime. Seems like at one point every day there's wind gust or an extended all day period....

Big fan of flash freezing with a coating of snow on top. Makes things very difficult to drive and walk, big fan!

Big fan of cool/cold rain and wind. I point and giggle when neighbors stuff gets blown all around, they usually don't like my reaction/response. Drought guy will probably make a appearance as well....happy times. 43F/Overcast

Yep, pretty sure. I don't think I'll make it through the night. Anywho, cool temps, rain and the poor air quality screams relief....
