  1. Yeah, if we can get in on that for a few hours we could be in business. 32.5 now here.
  2. Light snow East Hartford. Quick dusting underway. 32.7/25.8
  3. 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.
  4. Ah, yeah totally agree with that. Ironically I think that makes it more “special”. Down here at least.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Yeah. Gotta hope for the IVT to rotate through New England for some festive coatings or so and hope the Christmas shortwave is legit.
  10. I think that’s where most of us are at this point. Hope for enough moisture to get a solid coating for the next cold intrusion and hope the Christmas shortwave morphs into something decent.
  11. What’s terrifying is that folks said last year couldn’t possibly be worse than the one before, and absent a miracle it would have been. I really do think it’s possible to go sub 10” here if this truly is a decade-long slide.
  12. And the Euro has very light snow from the shortwave early Christmas morning for much of New England
  13. Euro looked a touch better to me, but again, for this to be more meaningful for more of the region we probably need continued significant shifts.
  14. My joking aside, yeah, there’s a signal for something in a very good antecedent airmass. I was speculating the other day that if we can’t get this weekend to produce, given how fast the flow is we could have a shot at another shortwave right around the holiday itself. Still a long shot in my mind but I like the trend of something tangible moving into the region. Honestly, we don’t need much. Any weak system that puts 2-3 down on the holiday for most would be excellent.
