Maybe a similar deal to Dec 01 except 50 miles southeast with rain/ snow line 

Ice? Dendrite says no but man seen that show before.

That was 12/2…but we know your memory is vague.

Dec 25th 1994 in the dark from a tropical storm the night before. So much fun

Probably assuming the cutter is real. Still some disagreement but I’d be shocked if we didn’t get at least one very mild day. 
 

Sunday’s event is just for aesthetics for a few days…we’re gonna need something in the 12/22-12/25 range to get the White Xmas…and it’s possible we could get that…ensembles have been coming around to the idea of overrunning/SWFE potential when looking at the H5 anomalies heading into Christmas Eve. 
 

 

yeah, not really a torch pattern with the -WPO encroaching into AK and the TPV elongated like that. sure, it's a torch for 75% of the CONUS, but who cares

When someone says we all would, It really means he would.

No man, all would not like an ice storm Christmas. I'll drive in the snow and be fine with that. But driving in ice is a absolute no! And I would venture to guess that a lot of us travel either Christmas Eve or Christmas day. But I'll be sure to put a good word into mother nature to make sure you have a good ice storm right in your hood. 

[dryslot]

I survived Icestorm 98, 2-2.50"+ of ice, That was enough for me.

[Torch Tiger]

if the choice is plain rain or inches of ice, every single one of us would choose ice      

[CoastalWx]

AI and EpS ensembles both in good agreement after the 20th. So weird to see a bulging ridge in the Midwest like that, but they have it. Definitely clipper and/or overrunning potential. Also can’t rule out a cutter too. Why can’t we get that 1500 miles more west lol.

Few years ago we had snow to ice on Christmas Eve. It was not bad.

You would too. Without a 2nd thought

If I never saw 0.25 or more of ice again it'd be too soon cause I'm the guy who has to go clear our trail system after, 98 was pure devastation up here, you can keep that all south of the Pike as far as I'm concerned

I want a roll call of everyone that would take 40° and 1” of rain over 29° and .50” of ice on Christmas Day. A trip to the in-laws can wait a day.

Nice professional presentation with this.  However, with it being on Youtube, I noticed a decided lack of hype, sensationalism and errors that usually accompany weather related videos.

All I said is I wouldn’t want to try running too many ice storms with +10C 850s. That takes a rather extreme set of variables to pull off.

It sucks because to get any traction at all on the platform you have to be ridiculously over the top. I'm hoping to build an audience/following there with reasonable forecasts but who knows.

I have noticed those national guys like to ignore the NE...just like when we have an arctic plunge into the center of the country that only produces pedestrian cold here, as we have so many times over the past decade.....all we hear about is how epic the airmass is. Inverse here.

[powderfreak]

It’s still snowing.  Unbelievable stuff out there on the mountain.  Just deep powder everywhere.

Today’s stake reading should put this year back in the all-time #1 position for this time of year since 1954.  And it could be by like a half foot too.
