Cool gift this morning. Talking about the thermometer and snow gauge, not the snow and cold.

Well in terms of those "% chance of a white Christmas" charts you see every year, they count one as having 1+" on the ground so it may not in terms of that. But we did get a white landscape for today in the end. The NWS's snow cover map does seem to count it though, at least in FFC:

Merry Christmas to my Connecticut weather friends! I'm glad some of you are having a white Christmas. Thank you for the weather info and entertainment. Enjoy this beautiful day! And to keep it on topic-When's the next snow?

Coming up... Quick snow again tomorrow then a Warm up this weekend to 40s then the fun begins again. Have to keep watching January 3rd time frame! Big Storm possible. Cold New Years Eve also.

THURSDAY MORNING WITH POTENTIAL FOR A BRIEF PERIOD OF MODERATE SNOW ACROSS THE INTERIOR AND RAIN/SNOW ALONG THE COAST AHEAD OF STRONG SHORTWAVE ENERGY.

WILL HAVE TO MONITOR POTENTIAL FOR END OF WEEKEND COASTAL STORM(29th) AS IT IS NOT OUT OF THE REALM OF POSSIBILITIES...BUT JUST A LOW POTENTIAL AT THIS POINT.

ABOVE AVERAGE CONFIDENCE IN A COLD END TO 2013/START TO 2014. THIS ALSO COINCIDES WITH A BOTTOMING-OUT OF THE AO INDEX WHICH MAY ALSO BE SIGNALING AN INCREASE FOR MAJOR WINTER STORM POTENTIAL

Merry Christmas to all!

Get ready for some active weather heading into the New Year!

I'm sure Cam will update everyone soon. But Jan 1st on looks like we are in for a great winter pattern. Get ready for some serious cold!

Yep. Just saw a few models showing below zero temps beginning of January!

A few are picking up on a January 2-3 storm potential. We'll have to keep an eye on this one folks! Happy Holidays to everyone also! The Weather Centre explores some variables pointing to some storm potential. That site is usually pretty good with longer range forecasting (week or so in advance).

January 2-6 Potentially Significant Winter Storm

.....
The reason the door for East Coast storms will remain open is because the Pacific North American (PNA) index is projected to be positive in the long term, especially during this timeframe. The GFS Ensembles predict that the PNA will remain positive through January 2-6, meaning the Southeast ridge should be suppressed. Thus, storms will be able to cross through the Southeast, and possibly even make their way up the coast. Because of this +PNA forecast, the track for this potentially significant storm is still up in the air. Right now, I would outline the Ohio Valley and East Coast for potential areas in line for this storm. I say the Ohio Valley because that possibly-positive NAO may not allow for an East Coast storm, and I say the East Coast because the PNA will be positive, which will allow for suppression of the dreaded Southeast ridge that has fended off East Coast snowstorm chances for a while now.

NWS said on their FB page that Suffolk County officially has a white Christmas (based on Islip recording over an inch of snow......they only showed a trace for Bridgeport), but did note that snow cover maps suggest that parts of Fairfield County and from northern Westchester in NY on north and a few parts of NJ have it as well (I posted the snow cover map about an hour ago here). Enjoy!

We definitely has a light but solid snow cover on the cars and grass last night here in southern Westchester (I live pretty near that New Rochelle picture of the squall that Cambium posted), but despite temps well below freezing (even Central Park was 19 degrees which is actually their first sub-20 low this month!), the snow is completely gone! I didn't think the sun was THAT strong when it's cold.....

Update: NWS now says a tiny bit of measurable (0.1") fell at Bridgeport/Sikorsky, They did note that some parts of FFC got 1-2" though
