We really needed the afternoon runs today to speed up the fropa and they didn’t. Pretty much deals the seal of 18-24 hours of dews , damaging winds and complete decimation of the pack north of Maine. Will hold till we see 00z , but I think it’s over

Festive.  2.0” 

[SlantStick]

About 2" here and steady snow.

Even if they did., you'll have patchy brown slush to look out at. Ugly AF. Although some of you may hold it with today's help.

Not planning on holding any . I know how these work. Just not quite 100% ready to go with 18-24 hour siege 

[WxWatcher007]

.8” New today 

[NorEastermass128]

Raining steadily. Pregaming for the Xmas Eve deluge. 

[Mothman]

Remember all - at the last second ... the grinch returns all the things he took away.........

[White Rain]

Not as much as Hubb, but still a nice wintery look out there as we roll into dark, 1.25” new

[LSC97wxnut]

Unexpected coating on all surfaces this afternoon. 

Thought for sure it would be just sprinkles.

[PhineasC]

18z GFS looks better for up here. Doesn’t torch me long and it is close to flashing me over to heavy snow. Some sleet and ice in between. 

[MJO812]

New GFS for Christmas Storm

Low now goes over NYC.

[PhineasC]

Peak torch is like 40 here it appears.

18Z GFS has a great save. 12 hrs of dews with snow Christmas morning. Find a nut GFS

Kevin can't even enjoy the pack and todays snow he is so distraught about something that hasn't happened yet. Never understood it

Yeah, Its crazy, You hate to see it.

[CoastalWx]

Yeah he should be. He’ll probably bitch his way to a 2” glacier by Christmas.

It's like trying to change lanes during a traffic jam......

[PhineasC]

Won’t take much more for the GFS to turn this into a net snow gain for NNE at least. Hope the other models follow suit. GFS is on an island right now. 

[Whineminster]

Best snow of the day right now. 3"

[rimetree]

Goose down falling out there. Looks like an inch already.

[Typhoon Tip]

1978 analog ...subsume potential:

I spoke about this yesterday and how the post Xmas period through the first week of January had begun to exhibit a relative stream cyclonic motion between the 60/70 N and 30 to 40 N latitudes, and that this "might" herald this sort of risk... viola! Today, we see this as though the models got that memo!

Whether this exactly verifies is obviously remote at this range, but this is just to point out the utter powderkeg that is presented when you have this sort of 'hemispheric phasing'/ multi stream harmonic that is - rarefied these days! - whole scale constructively interfering ...  Not something we've seen a lot of in recent seasons...

But take a note of the last panel on the right, 1978 compared to the Euro ( which the bottom row represents...) and peer up toward the D. Straight and Greenland... the whole scale quatra hemispheric scope of the N. Atl back through the eastern Seaboard and the Maritime of Canada are like a poor man's plagiarism... pretty amazing actually..

Is a beautiful day with snow on snow. About 3/4 inch here

Just finished clearing the driveway while listening to Pats vomit all over themselves. Just perfect outside right now. Measures an even inch before clearing.

They been puking on themselves all year. Besides getting slashed on runs plays this year the defense has been ok. The offense on the other hand is dreadfully bad. Stidham must not be the answer, better draft a QB.

I am a big looking ahead person. I need to plan and know how to program my mental psyche. Just how I work. Probably my sales profession and background.

Took a rip around the yard yesterday.

[Wentzadelphia]

What a wild H5 solution shown on the 18z pos gfs. Tbh there could be a signal for some kind of closed off low.. like a battle between the pac and blocking 

[NorEastermass128]

The trauma of lost Christmas snow pack may be blunted some as we could find ourselves tracking the next legitimate threat for early next week.
