Looks like low 50s for Xmas. Probably 60 or so the day after. Is what it is. Not hating it tbh.

Honestly, went through a majority of Christmases in Midland in the low 50s with a chilly morning. Wasn't bad at all. Just don't want humidity unless snow is involved. Keep it dry and coolish and I'm fine.

Still cant rule out the potential for something towards the end of the month/early Jan with looks like this continuing to pop up on guidance. The wave doesnt dig quite enough this run, but even with a hostile Pacific, a legit NAO block can change the game and give us a shot. Just cant know yet lol.

Agreed. A hostile PAC can be temporarily overcome by a great block anchoring in a high pressure to our north and pushing a low to our south. Won’t be the type of pattern where snow has staying power but a well timed wave could still absolutely produce and possibly produce big if just right. Cards on the table for the 12/31-1/3 timeframe but we’ll see

Same here.  I don't expect snowy Christmases (or Decembers in general) in the DMV area anyhow.  But a nice, chilly day in the 40s or so is fine, and at least not a washout with rain.  Or where it feels humid as you say!  In 2015 here, we had that ridiculous +8 or so departure for the month (thank God that didn't happen in July!).  It was literally uncomfortably warm and humid after some heavy rain late evening on Christmas Eve.

Now, growing up in northeast Ohio, different story!  Definitely plenty of cold and snowy Decembers and Christmases there which was always great.  Actually I recall one of the most striking reversals in terms of Christmas temperatures.  In 1982, Cleveland set a record high on Christmas of 66 degrees (that was a crap winter all around).  Exactly one year later in 1983, they set a record low of -10, brutal cold and wind all day with some Lake effect snow, temperatures barely got into the single digits for highs.

Latest Euro weeklies really cut back on the below normal cold air for January.  Hopefully just a blip...

It's in Europe.

Coincidentally, Europe was really cold before we had our cold starting mid-late November, so maybe we live through AN in January while we wait for another chance late Januaryinto February. Just a thought...or prayer. :(
