Low of 5 this Morning and day 8 of continuous snow cover. Not a bad streak from 2.5 inches of snow.

Not sure why cold matters on xmas-it's an indoor holiday.    Whether it's 12 or 56 you're sitting inside

Because of the Christmas shows that always show snow.

Unapologetically, it’s 100% cozy vibes for me, engendered by cheesy Xmas movies.  The holiday just doesn’t seem real for me when we are torching during it.

I prefer it warm if we're not going to snow or keep snowcover-rather go out and walk and get away from the in laws lol

More inland helped.  Even the south shore of Nassau was colder.  Rare for us to be warmer than NYC absent an early season cutter.

Virginia snowfall from just yesterday.  Does not include the totals from the event on the 5th.

 

Meanwhile I'm sitting with a trace on the ground and .70" for the season to date.

pattern doesn't support any storms in the northern stream to reach us still producing much- flow is too fast - in and out cold shots - have to wait till later in the month for the SOI to go further into negative territory and the southern stream gets more involved - then we have to rely on that 2nd advertised Strat warming event ..........

Arctic surge for the coming weekend into early next week into the northeast is first class cold for any point in Winter, never mind December 15th.  

Ouch!

Cmc further north. Rain to SNE.

Cold across the Yukon Territory of Canada this morning is extremely impressive.  Temperatures -35 to -40 over a fairly large area with a -52 at Beaver Creek.  Impressive cold pool stretching from interior Siberia over the pole into western Canada.

This Sun system is really just a vigorous shortwave moving in a fast chaotic pattern. There’s a chance we’re close enough north of it to be snowy, but also a chance it’s more suppressed crap or too amped. We won’t really know until within 72hrs or maybe even 60. Depends on the placement of the incoming arctic blast/trough and track of the shortwave as it comes in.
