I saw a similar tweet a few weeks ago, it went something like "NYC in the 50's in December, what's going on?" in an attempt to prove global warming. NYC's average high is in the 50's at the beginning of the month. It had loads of retweets too.
I hate when people spew misinformation, even if I share the same/similar stance on the topic.
Total respect for you for this. That is what I'm saying. I may differ on the stance or even agree on it but it baffles me when they use it and abuse it. And you have people (like those that retweeted) who are clueless and spread that info and believe it.. Such a peeve of mine.
NWS NY.. Rare I see some good discussion from them.
In Honor of Christmas, how about some colors?

More of the same to start the final week of the year, with a fast Pacific jet racing across the northern tier of the country. This
will result in a series of frontal systems impacting the area next
week, one Monday night into Tuesday, and then another Thursday.
Generally of late, these systems have been impacting the area
every 2-3 days.
Any amplification of the flow has been short-lived with the northern branch of the polar jet displaced well to the north across Canada.Thus, no significant cold shots are forecast through at least mid week with a cool down to near seasonable
levels for mid week following the first cold frontal passage.
There are some differences with the second Pacific frontal
system, which is clearly more amplified with the 12Z ECMWF, supporting a potential coastal low development along the Mid Atlantic and Northeast coasts. The nature of the fast flow with no blocking leaves in doubt such a system. At the same time, there
is evidence of a high amplitude ridge building in along the west
coast of North America late in the week. None of the shorter term
climate signals from the GFS support a colder, stormier pattern
in the northeast.
Temperatures during the period are generally forecast to be above
seasonable levels with the exception of Monday mornings lows and
for Wednesdays highs behind the cold front.
There are some wild cards in play for late in the week that will have to be watched.
Euro this afternoon had a nice snowstorm from Philly(1-3") to Maine (12-16") next week. So they are saying it has to be watched
Going to be an awesome but crazy weekend for them. I hope they are ready.
These are the winds on Christmas day. While family and friends are inside all cozy in front of a fire, opening gifts, sharing laughs or eating their meal; winds will be whipping outside and blizzard conditions with blowing snow.

Snow totals. WOW
You beat me to it!
Winter Storm Warnings and Winter Weather Advisories all over the West. I think we're on the wrong side of the country for Christmas this year.
Holy ****, Winnipeg going 25f below average would mean something like -15/-30f there. May as well book a ticket now, lol
30f negative anomalies in Billings would be impresive too.
Knowing gfs, it might moderate before then.
