More scenic than significant. Hope you guys have a merry Christmas.

Looking forward to a HV runner to ring in the new year.

Can’t even do clippers right. Next we’ll get a SWFW that’ll blowtorch us 10 minutes after the column moistens enough for precipitation to fall.

I’d take my chances with .1 of qpf though in this airmass. Unless it’s arctic sand ratios should be decent. To be clear, this is as marginal as it gets in terms of precip—not even discussion worthy normally. But it’s happening on Christmas Eve and could give people their first white Christmas in a while—at least down here in the hinterlands of SNE. And yeah, what happened to clippers sliding south of New England but at least they’ve miraculously returned from extinction. I’m used to perfect track 2-4” rain events the last 7 years.

Not the 2016 one?

High of 28.8° so the cold overperformed a bit. Currently at 18.6/9.0.

Yeah pretty dry for us. We’d need this a little more south to be confident of something halfway decent here.

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.
