Great write up Scott. Awesome. But there’s no way to spin this. Rain on Christmas morning sucks. Period and Of Story

It looks like the snow gods might smile on me after passing me by for the first 3 weeks of the month.

by **jimv45** Sat Dec 23, 2017 9:15 am

I am hearing 3 to 6 up here let's hope it trends colder for all

by **Frank_Wx** Sat Dec 23, 2017 9:16 am

Looks like models came to an agreement. Pretty much what I've been suspecting. Rain to snow. Might stay as all rain for eastern NJ, NYC, and LI. But precip shuts off by 8am. Clearing, wind, and cold to follow.

Xmas storm would have been nice for the coast if we had more cold air. Inland areas do very well.

Stupid lakes low

by Guest Sat Dec 23, 2017 9:29 am

Happy for you Aresian and all you N and W folks. I’d gladly trade all 3 snow events and 10 inches I’ve gotten so far for a couple of inches Christmas Morning. Scott’s post was a kick in the balls this morning. Bullshit.

by **Snow88** Sat Dec 23, 2017 9:35 am

The surface line hovers near the coast throughout the event

33andrain is the worst

Praying for a 2002 bust

Yep go rain on Christmas fun times.

by **Snow88** Sat Dec 23, 2017 10:49 am

GFS ticked east and has mostly snow for inland areas to the north and west of the NYC area.

NYC sees some snow at the end on xmas

Hey Frank not scientific at all but I’ve seen this many times where the model says no snow but at the end we get a little bit of the white stuff to give us a coating and make it feel like Christmas.
I’m holding out hope for it.. The cold air is not that far off..

by **frank 638** Sat Dec 23, 2017 11:02 am

At this point I will be happy with a coating to a 1 of snow I know it's not much but at least it will give us a white Christmas for NYC I am desperate lol .

Let's be honest: Unless the primary low ends up much further south than we're anticipating, LI ain't getting a White Christmas. Miller freakin B's Mad

Not for everyone.

I think 30 miles north and west of NYC ekes out 2-4 inches. At least it looks like that for now.

Yup but you guys were never really in this. This is your typical 1970 -80''s type storm. Western BC through I80.North sees some accumulation. Need the primary to be weaker and die before it gets to Buffalo. If it poops out by Pittsburgh then LI may have a shot and N&W of NYC sees 3 plus.
Like to hear rb thoughts today.

by Guest Sat Dec 23, 2017 1:54 pm

I hope if this doesn’t work out that next week does. We are 0 for 1 on the threats with this one it looks like down here. I believe this was one of the threats Amugs cited from Witt? I believe.

DSNY has issued a snow alert beginning December 24th at 10pm

by **rb924119** Sat Dec 23, 2017 3:53 pm

All I'm gonna say, because it's all I have time for, is HERE COME THE SHORT RANGE HI-RES MODELS. My thoughts from way back when have been north of 78 and west of the Delaware River would see 3-6/4-7" from this, with somebody on here getting thundersnow. I'll let you all carry the discussion from here as I head to work. When troughs go so negative and are so deep, models cannot adjust to the dynamics in play until within the short term. We are entering that period now........ENJOY!!

Expect an all rain event for NYC and points south and east.
