J Paul Gordon Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 The White Christmas thing is an interesting phenomenon. Is it the gift of Bing Crosby, or, has there always been a WC cult here in the Northeast? Most of the country very rarely to never sees one--basically everyone south of 40N except for the high mountains out west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J Paul Gordon Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Even so what is the deal for Christmas as opposed to all the days around it? Why care about snow on the ground on the 25th vs the 23rd and the 27th? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's getting too late for massive changes. I mean maybe it could get flatter, but this isn't a pattern that would really force a flat solution this close.

In Los Angeles, a lot of people put a fake white blanket on their lawns loosely resembling snow. It was really funny to watch that shrivel up in the rain...lol.

It was really funny to watch that shrivel up in the rain...lol. Fascinating. Sort of like the fake palm trees outside of Pedro's (awesome) Mexican restaurant in Kennebunkport, Maine. They take on a whole different aura in the winter. Anyhow, the white Christmas thing seems to create more angst and depression than its worth when it doesn't happen. Don't get me wrong, I like them, too. It just doesn't seem worth the investment. If I had my way we would have Caribou, Maine (or UP Michigan) winters and St John, NL summers. Ain't gonna happen in Worcester, so its not worth getting all worked up about it. Likewise, white Christmas. We get them maybe 50% or 60% of the time if you count the measly barely covering the grass ones. Anyhow, guess this is banter, so back to the models.

RUNNAWAYICEBERG Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 if boxing day storm came in a tad bit sooner it would be my #1 all time storm. thats how awesome snow on Christmas is.

At that Lat up there they would not get wiped out unless there were several heavy rainers and temps in the 50's, I just don't see it, In this fast flow, As crappy as last winter was for many of us here, I know guys that still put on over 2,000 miles of riding up there, Model runs will change from run to run so I don't place much stock in them until we get inside 5 days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinterWolf Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 My feeling as well. If we can't keep it cold here, then keep them in the freezer at least. Nothing is carved in stone yet, let's see how things play out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had added a caveat to that post above, As bad as last winter was for most here, I had friends of mine still put on over 2,000 miles last winter up there if that gives you any indication of how they hold onto snow conditions and actually get snow in a blow torch pattern.

WinterWolf Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Oh I get it Jeff, I've been riding there for 22 years...and have seen them be in their own world most times, when everywhere else is warm as can be. Just hoping no big warm rainers make it up in there for the holiday. I agree with everything you said :-). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But at least the snow is during the day and the banana hammocks are at night...better than the other way around, lol. It's too bad because these systems could easily slide south of us if we had a nuance break our way either up north in the form of confluence or to the southwest in the form of hanging back energy...but we knew this was the downside risk to this pattern...a 1980s snow to rain storm.
