28 here.  The sound giveth and the sound taketh away.

I would rather have your latitude and sound proximity during big storms than fake cold

I would bet when it warms up slightly for Christmas Eve into the 25th, it will get very foggy until the warm sector is suppressed south. Foggy and 48-52 F temps, Santa will not find every house. Oh right, I'm supposed to pretend Santa doesn't exist. Forgot about that.

Anyone check out the cold over NW Canada?  Currently -40's to -50's F over Yukon and NWT.  Even a few spots at -60F currently.

Mid to LR forecasts continue to build the cold over the next week.

Where it goes beyond that is the question.  Does it stay bottled up in Canada and slide more east than south or does in make a run south into the U.S. either is pieces or a large Arctic plunge?  I think all options are on the table but something worth following.

That's when it giveth...although it isn't always a slam dunk.  We had about the same SWE as everybody else on 12/26/2010, but only 12" of quite dense accumulation. The screaming winds above the deck pulverized the snowflakes before they reached the ground.

Been a while since the coldest air in the hemisphere has been on our side of the pole.  We’ll see how things play out as we move through early January.
