Moderators StretchCT Posted December 19, 2022 Moderators Share Posted December 19, 2022 Interesting stat. Not sure what no snow on ground but new snow (1"or greater") means since that would be snow on the ground. But only 2 years have had any snow in NYC since 1999. Normal odds are 1 in 6. It's been 12 years, soon to be 13 which will match the stretch in the 70s. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The intent here would be to try and keep tabs on "snow depth" maps by 12z 25th", storms that would have the potential for a white Christmas, historical probabilities, maybe even memories/pictures of Christmas storms of the past? Open for thoughts just don't want to turn this in to an extension of the Long range winter thread. Does anyone have an updated map where the "climate normals" is using the up to 2020 data? If not....here is what we have. I'd presume odds would be lower using the last decade in certain areas Obviously if we get close enough to where individual regional threads are warranted. We keep the tracking in those, and more of the snow depth maps etc in here I'm cheating by living in a spot that has >90% chance of at least 1". I had a rare green/brown xmas my first winter here 20/21. I guess I brought a part of Missouri with me 😄, but with a solid 4" already on the ground and a big storm on the way it seems like my chances are 100% this year! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My favorite white Christmases are the ones in which it is actually snowing. I enjoy take a decent snow that brings 1 or so inches of snow during the day. That is how I define my own Christmas. Spirit flakes! 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Set our all time record here in Pgh. It is so rare though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it's kind of weird and amazing how big storms have never hit us really on Christmas or on New Year's Eve and New Year's day too 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

junior Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Looks like we'll have snow around here for Xmas. Maybe not falling but better than last year's 50-60 degree rain. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators StretchCT Posted December 24, 2022 Moderators Share Posted December 24, 2022 Brief flurry came through. Didn't really show up on radar. Coated the car. Then sun came out and it blew away. Streamers over the ocean are neat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cdfarabaugh Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Merry christmas everyone! This is the whitest white christmas I've had in memory, so white its likely racist......lol But in all seriousness this is more fitting for Alaska. 5 degrees, light pixie dust snow and drifts everywhere from the wind. Wife left the van door open a crack and had to remove an interior snow drift too. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bradjl2009 Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 (edited) Most of the land mass of the country had a White Christmas this year. Not a deep cover in a lot of places but it still counts. Here in Pittsburgh we set a new record low for a high on Christmas Eve yesterday of 12.

Moderators Tater Posted December 25, 2022 Moderators Share Posted December 25, 2022 We had a little sleet remaining in a few shady spots, but definitely nowhere near the 1" mark. However, imo, we had something better than a white Christmas. The pond was frozen over and we went ice skating on Christmas! For y'all northern peeps, that might not be unusual, but for us in Virginia, odds are probably less than 50/50 that we get a chance to skate all year (outside of a commercial rink). Furthermore, the ice is often ruined by snow, moss, or air pockets. This year we had nice, clear, hard, smooth ice. That's kinda like hitting a hole in one backwards through your legs: not that it never happens, it's just really rare in these parts (far more elusive than a snowstorm). I'm chalking it up as a win. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bradjl2009 Posted December 26, 2022 Share Posted December 26, 2022 The high today in Miami was only 50°. Not only was that the coldest Christmas high they've ever had, it was also their coldest daily high since January of 2010. I'm sure every snow lover in between Washington DC and i-80 misses the glory of that winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
