12z GFS for mid-day Christmas. Little victories, at least we're slightly cool.
Didn’t Concord see snow on Christmas Day in 2010? Not arguing but I remember snow on the ground Christmas Day!
I don't get this map. It snowed here on Christmas night in 2010. Wouldn't that be considered a white Christmas?
I'll take it.

If it stuck to 1", yes that would qualify.

I don't see anyone west of I-75 getting 1" of rain out of this in GA.

Well, I don't see this very often. Rain coming toward me from the Atlantic. Rain coming up from Fla and a front coming in from the west. All at the same time. Now all I need is a clipper.

Snow occurred after local midnight on December 26th over the Triangle area. Closer to Charlotte, I think there's reason to believe the NWS RAH analysis that I based this on is incorrect.

The weather in this App State-Miami OH bowl game in Orlando is hilarious. Absolutely monsooning. 7 fumbles in the first half
App State should have went for the two field goals...

If you wonder how they have 4 losses this season, all on the last play of the game. There you have it!
Yeah I think it is. I was in Concord on Christmas Day 2010 until about 7:30 at my parent’s house, only a couple miles from Concord Regional Airport. When we left, there was already about 1” on the ground and it was really starting to pick up. At my house in Wingate, we basically watched the changeover happen as we were pulling into the driveway about 8:30… it snowed light but steady the rest of the evening enough to have a little over .5” before midnight. I ended getting dumped on for a few hours later that night into the early morning from the deformation band as the coastal low started cranking up.

Just from the "quick look" of this and not delving into it, I have a bit on concern as to the look of "training cells" on here. May need to look at hints of severe in Dixie.

Happy New Year from the GFS! And it’s not even 400 hours out!

That’s a strong high, very cold look, low bombing in NE acting as a 50/50 low , almost a Jan 88 look, details to be ironed out, if it doesn’t go poof at 0z
Has the looks of something that will fizzle out in the next frame.
I know it started snowing here on Christmas before it was even dark and continued through the night.

I’m just not smart enough to know why it fizzles out. Someone please tell me why.
If I had to take a guess that big low along the Maine and Canada border is just sitting there and it kinda squashes things to the south. Move that about 200-300 miles NE and let that 1041 high move in tandem with that shortwave and you have a really good Southern Slider overrunning set up.

I use to get excited seeing a 1032 HP over PA on the shortest days of the year, with light qpf approaching like 12z euro showing for Christmas eve. Trying to get a limb glazer.

Week of Christmas looking warm and rainy. Hopefully we can get a more consolidated piece of energy and push it all thru at once rather than a whole week of clouds

Poor mans version of future radar at 8:22pm tonight. Someone sign up for flood light watch and alert the rest of us.

Its more than a sprinkle. Melting flake into a sprinkle i can confirm. Think my face had 4 hits in 60 seconds out with dog. So few between, floodlight cant give me a register

The snow aspect of this storm certainly overperformed in this area. Roads were very slick and icy this am. Numerous calls for wrecks. Montgomery county closed all schools today. And we didn't even have a winter weather advisory.

That was a big win in your area. It's usually the other way around these days when you get a winter weather advisory and get close to nada. I miss those days when you wouldn't be under a advisory and still get a dusting to a 1/2 at times like you got last night.
