I try not to let it get to me, but it’s been a little bit maddening.  
My last accumulating snow was almost 3 weeks ago yet it’s been plenty cold and I still need to heat the house.

It appears the model spread has it really being from Yarmouth/Freeport - Belfast extending inland to your area.  We'll know in 36 hours in any case.

8-10 years from now..when your my age…it won’t bother you as much anymore.  And that’s the truth.

GYX is holding off until the last possible minute to go to a warning for some here.

I don’t know, I’m somewhere in your age bracket and I still let it frustrate me sometimes.
It’s pretty much why I stopped watching sports,  because I feel ridiculous tensing up and yelling at the TV.

It definitely doesn’t seem to bother you if it doesn’t snow, not nearly as much as people posting about how it bothers them .

It’s nothing Like it used to be for me. Frustrate/disappoint slightly…sure.  But let it get me angry, or numb lol…it just doesn’t. And I’m glad. But everybody is different.

Good one.
 

But I don’t understand people getting aggravated at a system that is 4 days away…which does show at least some promise. But whatever.

NAM being so dry is starting to be a little bit of a red flag I don’t think I’d change anything though over interior. Still prob 1-3”. Maybe if GFS and Euro jump ship.

I haven’t seen any reports of overperforming coming out of PA where it’s currently snowing so I think the models might be onto something with the marginal temps and drier air 

[dryslot]

WSW hoisted

[JKEisMan]

HREF. Still going up north.

[HIPPYVALLEY]

Definitely some dry air to fight through.  Currently 23/16 at mi casa.  Counting on that initial burst to drop an inch here. 

[codfishsnowman]

I was thinking a White Christmas was on really thin ice down here even with an inch or two ...it gets pretty mild Wednesday afternoon and there's no icy mix to solidify things. 

Still some mood flakes a couple days before Christmas and having it not be bitterly cold isn't the worst thing.

I hope the P/C is locked at this point.

Tonight

Snow. The snow could be heavy at times. Low around 24. East wind around 5 mph. Chance of precipitation is 100%. New snow accumulation of 5 to 9 inches possible.

Wednesday

Snow likely, mainly before 2pm. The snow could be heavy at times. Cloudy, then gradually becoming mostly sunny, with a high near 30. North wind 5 to 10 mph, with gusts as high as 20 mph. Chance of precipitation is 70%. New snow accumulation of 1 to 3 inches possible.

I saw that. Some models came west with that, but hrrr seems like an outlier. That’s my only shot I think unless this first piece comes in aggressive which isn’t likely.

 

Anyways enjoy near PWM. Hopefully lemons grabs 12-18 there.

Yeah that looks like a Hail Mary, more likely for a narrow zone on the Cape.  But I love hoping those mesoscale things happen just for the oddity of it.
