I'll Be Having A White Christmas After All ~ What's Your Forecast?

[Inscrutable]

Used to live in NY snow belt ... we carbon-dated snow

 

[kruizer]

10 inches of the stuff for Christmas and 4 below zero overnight.

 

[Steve H]

Had about 5 inches 3 days ago. Today it was in the 40's. Tomorrow in the 50's. Christmas day in the 20's and snowing. So, it maybe a white Christmas with it snowing. Not much. Or nothing on the ground.

 

[ChuxPick]

When I went to work this morning it was 51°, when I was coming home 11 hours or so latter it was 16° with 45-50 mph winds and white out conditions similar to Brokenhandle's pictures.
So I'm thinking we will have a white Christmas.

Speaking of Christmas I have found some if not most grocery stores will be discounting their meat to get rid of it before Christmas to keep it from setting a idle day and then throwing it away on the 26th.
So weather permitting you might be able to find some pretty good deals.

Supposed to get 3-5” we will see here in Wheeling, WV.

I was fine with a brown Christmas! But mother nature had other ideas. Calling for 3 to 5 inches with winds gusting 40 mph (blizzard warning). Temp was about 13 F an hour ago, didn't look at windchill. My drive home from doing chores earlier

And that's actually being able to see pretty good! Drove with window partly down most of the way just to be able to see the ditch.

Ryan I think maybe you grabbed my tape measure by mistake


No snow here rain tomorrow then freezing tomorrow night into Christmas morning and only getting to a high around 48

 

[Millberry]

Very light dusting last night with 60 mph gusts this morning. Not pleasant outdoors. Winds diminished to about 25 mph at this hr.

OMG!

 

[Cabo]

70 here currently. Supposed to get down in the 40s Saturday. Finally cold enough to smoke some cheese!

-8° this Am. MES having hard time getting to a 250° temp for my ham. May have to resort to the RT. Oh well, at least there's options.

Very nice. Suppose to get back to the low 30's tomorrow. This time of the year, I'll take that.

 

[TNJAKE]

15° in the morning. Wind chill is supposed to be 0° that's pretty cold for us southerners

 

[Bearcarver]

46° here right now, so most of our foot of snow should be gone by tomorrow "Christmas Day".
However Mrs Bear got a Text from our electric company, telling us of a lot of rain coming tonight & High Winds, and we should prepare for loss of electric.
They said they imported some extra crews to help restore power when it goes out.
So my Generator is full of gas & ready & willing.

Hopefully not needed but prepared is a Good thing.

My daughter in WV had 7 in of snow with temps in the single digits. Made my low 30's feel a lot better as i was wrapped in a blanket in my recliner. Seems as I get older the cold affects me more.

We only lost power for about 3 seconds.
The wind howled all night, but I don't think it got above 30 MPH here.
The bad stuff seemed to be South of here. Rained like crazy all night, but that's almost daily!!
