Its funny to read Paul's post from some well-respected met about best December winter pattern in 10 years then actually look at guidance. Social media click bait 100%

Steve folks need to get their clicks!! LOL! That said - the many folks who stare at models and post 240 hour snow maps and believe it....or look at 240 hour maps with no snow are both going to be surprised when the opposite ends up the actual weather! We don't shovel model snow and we very well may shovel models that show no snow!!

We will get our chances. This is the kind of pattern that doesn’t have any obvious long range threats. Instead stuff will appear 4-5 days out.

Exactly!! Give me the cold....snow can follow

Bottomed out at 21F. Cold and dry...33F and rain's ugly twin sister.

Wow, Steve D. Forgot all about that guy. Anyone remember Ruggie weather??

The Steve D character always had JB-ish type write ups. He always saw something in the weather pattern that the other METs were missing.

And yeah, I forgot about Ruggie weather.

Tiniest of flakes falling. I didn't know if I was hallucinating or if it was real? Held out my black glove and a flake the size of half an ant fell onto it. A special moment indeed...

25F

Biggest event since Sunday. We are obviously a snow town

Ruggie was like that, always "seeing something the models aren't picking up on".

All of a sudden, the skies have cleared. I see a lot of blue sky out there.

Had some very fine flakes (was more than flurries but that cold dry fine stuff) just after 11 am.  Didn't stick but it's my first "Trace" of the season so far.

Currently 28 with dp 17.

So, do we recognize this as our 3rd event? 

I'm sure ChescoWx already updated his spreadsheets and uploaded backups to 3 different servers...

Overcast, low clouds/25F
