I know everybody is imby but that’s not really meh for part of the state if that verifies. This time of year I tend to think anything over 55 is starting to ask for trouble. I can see that in parts of eastern coastal CT.
Two years ago, just before my dad passed, we had some snow and ice on Christmas Eve and Christmas. It was beautiful and comforting. Hope we get something to fit in this year too, but even if we don’t, signs look good heading into the new year.
Compared to other years though it looks increasingly likely that we don’t see a grinch storm. That’s a win to me.
I define a grinch storm as being much closer to Christmas than Monday’s storm.
Looks like a valley heartbreaker but I’d dance with it because of the impact.
I honestly didn’t realize until I moved back just how many ways there are to get screwed in the valley. CAD is the only way to jackpot here and that’s for 31.9° ZR.
May those storms enjoy an eternal slumber.
They know the Grinch is on his way
He’s bringing Phil and hydro issues on his sleigh
And every weenie’s child is going to cry
When dad is broken and leaves, no goodbye
Never expected winter here to begin in earnest until after January 15th or so. Still don’t think December is a total loss but unlike last year I don’t think it’s worth canceling winter even if it is.
The red flag for me would be seeing an extended hostile pacific pattern on long range guidance at the start of the new year.
