Yes, looking forward to rain to wash away all the excessive salt! Then hoping for thunder on Sunday to invoke the "Wiggum Rule".

Just enjoy the holidays for now, we'll get back at it Jan 2 

Merry Christmas, everyone!

However, my Christmas thoughts are that this could still move easily to the Ralph let's have patience speech if nothing is showing up by this Friday.

I know you know this...let's just get a workable pattern in place, then we can be patient and worry about the deets. As long as the models stay away from depicting a pig ridge over NA east of the Mississippi 

My own weenie rule...if there's snow in any amount in my yard Christmas morning, it's a White Christmas!

(We don't live in Moosonee, beggars can't be choosers.) 

We can check off “snow on snow” from our BINGO cards this winter.

^Currently under that pixie dust death ban. Fresh coating on everything, 24F/ DP 21F.

It would be nice to Jebwalk Christmas Eve morning with flakes coming down.

I'm circling 1/7 for an impactful winter event...my mom has a 9am appointment with the cardiologist that day. She had surgery the morning of 12/5/03. I had to drive from Towamencin to Delco Memorial Hospital in the snow that morning. My mom's health is as good a teleconnection for snow as any.

Looks hopeful but we've been burned by the LR ens every year for the past 8. We sit and wait again....

We’ll see where things stand after the New Year. But you may want to dust off the “Wiggum Patience Speech” just in case.

Measured 2.70" this morning and bottomed out at 28.  There's a streamer of something overhead although it's been mostly virga so far.   Currently overcast and 30 with dp 23.

Happy first day of winter!

Had a few flakes fall from the sky under that.

28F/DP 21F…looks like winter, feels like winter and it is winter. Doesn’t always happen like that around here.

Salt truck rolled through around 9pm. Was hoping for some mood flakes. Overperformer!

Mod snow. Car tops and flower beds about to cave. 
 

33F/DP 30F

Confirmed...snizzle has turned into mod mood flakes, 34F/DP 31F.

Think I light the tree and listen to Christmas tunes.

Snizzle, 33F.

Just give me mood flakes around Christmas and I’ll be happy. I’ll get greedy after New Years!

50F with rain on the doorstep.

Getting a random flurry here, 35F/DP 27F

Crap Pac

Crap Atlantic

Crap ENSO

Crap solar cycle

Crap PDO

Crap AO/NAO

Crap MJO

Beyond that, let's get this party started! 

We haven’t even started our winter obs thread and I see the MA forum has already cancelled winter. Maybe we should just move onto the 2025 Spring Obs Thread

This is a classic GFS snow model map with 30 inches at PHL to 50+ inches for the heart of South Jersey - book it!!

 

If I only get 25" while Vineland gets 50", I'm gonna be one angry weenie  

Picked up 1.40" yesterday. Clear skies, should be good for drone viewing tonight.

Squall line coming through now, pitch black with sheets of rain. It's trash night, why couldn't it hold off for a few hours until I got the cans down to the curb?

Absolutely rippin' here, been a long time since I've heard rain pound against the house like this. 

61F

Too bad the forecast changed from this look a few days ago

 

What do you know, there's a good guy (high) in the lakes!

Dippin' dot flizzard

Had a few gusty flurries as the squall line missed to my north. Temp now down to 34F after a "high" of 39F.

Flurries here. 38F/DP 24F

Low last night here 21f looking forward to the 45 mph winds tomorrow and rain shower turning to snow squall.

 

No Snow in sight after that more of the same from past winters temps heading to 60 next week then back to near normal and then probably going back up to that afterwards.

 

Total Snowfall for Media Delaware County this year trace and counting.

Yes, we're getting our 10 allotted days of winter early this year. Then we torch until late March/April when below normal temp return with a  vengeance (but just mild enough for cold rain).
