Let’s all get in on the fun for once lol. It’s a shame this couldn’t pop off the Delmarva and blow up to give us all something more significant.

Wow you’ve done well. What’s your December normal.

Track has seemed pretty consistent the last few days but maybe we can get a modest south/more juicy trend going.

There’s been a varying signal for some system to move into New England around Christmas for several days. The signal is better defined inside 84 hours now, with a clipper now likely to cross the region Christmas Eve rather than Christmas. The trend has been a slightly sharper system, with the possibility of region wide light snow. The best qpf looks focused in CNE and NNE. With an excellent antecedent airmass (Euro colder than GFS) and a little moisture, many could see measurable snow right before the Christmas holiday. Perhaps enough for an official white Christmas. Discuss.

@40/70 Benchmark your total?

Very nice. Congrats.

Wish the band were ten miles west but as it stands it’s snowing good here and the temp is down to 31.2. Accumulating more efficiently.

Maybe a little back building of that band over east-central CT. Snow has picked back up here again. Temp at 31.5°.

yep we take and hope we can amp Christmas Eve up a bit.

You can see on radar just how close this was to a nuke for us all. Still, this is much better than a whiff.

Just dropped below 32°

We take

Yeah, if we can get in on that for a few hours we could be in business. 32.5 now here.

Light snow East Hartford. Quick dusting underway. 32.7/25.8

I still want to see the western portion fill in more for places like ours to do ok, but this is about as much as we could ask for—excellent trends at the last minute turning a SE miss into a nowcast event.

Hell of a trend right up to game time.

Ah, yeah totally agree with that. Ironically I think that makes it more “special”. Down here at least.

It’s December 25th. It can snow in late December lol.

I think the kids that see snow on Christmas (a formative experience for some) become the adults that want to relive a snowy Christmas with the people they’ve grown up with or with their own kids.

I couldn’t tell you anything about Christmas 2002—the gifts I got or what we did. But I can picture the snowy landscape outside about as vividly as it if it happened yesterday. Funny how memories work.

Right, but it’s been near a decade now with very few exceptions, which happens but that’s also time you don’t get back. Totally agree though that we’ll turn it around eventually, and as I said in the other thread, let’s just get a white Christmas and worry about the rest later.

Anything in this general period of failure that produces a white Christmas is an unequivocal win. Full stop. Double win if most of the subforum can get it too. I don’t give a fuk if it’s a sheared out shortwave or weak frontal system. I’ll worry about the rest of the winter on Dec 26.

If there’s a drone strike on your house tonight thank Euro Skynet.

Enjoy

Berg just quit the board.
