Somewhat Important Note:

Due to the popularity of the blog, I receive numerous Facebook requests before potential snowstorms. Although I am flattered that you want to follow me on Facebook, I would ask that you not friend request me unless you know me in real life. It's nothing personal, I've just decided I don't want too many friends on Facebook.

Thanks, John

Christmas Eve/Christmas Storm

At this time, nothing all that significant is expected out of the Christmas Eve/Christmas storm. We will likely see a mixture of snow sleet and freezing rain on Christmas Eve, transitioning to all rain on Christmas Day. ATTM the biggest problem will be up to a quarter inch of ice making roads slick and potentially causing a few power outages Christmas Eve.

All in all not a big storm but I'll post a slightly more detailed discussion tomorrow evening just b/c this is the first thing worth mentioning in a while.

For those who care, we are up to 7.5" of snow on the year, which unsurprisingly is running below normal.

As for the future, there are going to be more storm opportunities. This winter is an active one, with big storms; however, all of the storms are either tracking too far east or west for our benefit.

Eventually though, we should get a favorable track from one of these storms, (a) because of simple probability and chance, and (b) because El Nino should become weaker as the winter goes on, which generally gives our area a favorable storm track.
