I would feel hopeful for CT, RI and se MA, but I don't see how this ends up anything appreciable up here, at this point...then we can get back to our regularly scheduled program of me being 3 miles too far to the south.

I feel ya! I remember when it actually snowed in December, Boston area included. Now for whatever meteorological reason the last several years has been concerning overall. My worry right at this point in time is pretty much close to a patricial shutout of December not the entire winter of course. The reason why I said a partial shutout for Dec. is because we did get a little snow so far for the month, but the rest is looking a little iffy ATT.

Of course, it was way too far south for last week, and it ended up being rain, but it will nail this one being too far to the south. Can't make it up. Past decade....if it snows for SNE, it's wrong, if it doesn't, it's right.

I have been saying for years now, especially down here....doesn't matter what model it is, in the mid range, take the least snowiest model and it will be correct....works almost every single time, its laughable at this point.

I remember many winters when I was a kid in the 60s and 70S that had snow by Christmas, also I remember a lot didn't. It's less than 50-50 in Southern New England.

Even the Euro which is meh has us saturated from 550mb to 850mb all between -10c and -20c. Could be some big time fluff somewhere with this thing. 

Most of the soundings on other guidance has a really deep saturated snow growth layer too. This one has good ratio potential if we can just get that lift in here.

This is the 80’s to a frieken T!  Something would always go wrong, and sabotage a good system, and now we are right back to it again.

You really need to be outside of 495 and north of I-84 to get higher than 50/50 chances for White Christmas climatologically in SNE. ORH was around 60-65%. 
 

Obviously recent years have been bad. I think last year in 2024 is the only White Xmas in the 2020s. For ORH, then you have: 2019, 2017, 2013, 2012, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2005, 2002, 2000.
 

You could maybe count 2020 on a technicality (the snow wasn’t 100% wiped out by 12z which is the measurement time but certainly by 18z it was) 

So we’re sitting at about 50% since 2000.

Yep since 1975 25 out of 50 years had 0 snow cover here
