Can see some patches of snow on visible over far eastern NC this morning.

Nice cold morning, but man...I am SO tired of seeing this thing continuing to sit in the same spot as far as the eye can see.

15 here, colder than forecast by 4-5 degrees iirc.
Got down to 13.2 on my elevated thermometer and 10.6 on my ground level thermometer. RDU got down to 14, and they will end up with 12 hours of temps in the teens.

Yeah really nothing below 60 showing up once the Christmas torch hits here and that's almost January by then

13.5 F in North Durham.
15F is the coldest IMBY since 12F on 1/21/24, and coldest Dec low since 12/26/22 (also 15F)
i imagine for many of my neighbors, it is the same case

Its wild the drastic switching between runs now at 10 days on the operationals. I guess a weak CAD is better than a torch for some but is useless down here.
12.4 meh...next

The warm Christmas analogs here... One snowed 14 inches after and one snowed.... 0.2 after.....
That helped truly

It was so cold this morning the Dodge 5500 wouldn’t crank. When we warmed up above 20 she fired right up

If I can't get snow/cold: Still find a way to win:
This Saturday looks good to me, got 30 coming over ( high 40's) so I can send the younger ones out in the Pasteur to rumble around.
Waiting on one more set of runs and Booking tee times 12/26-12/27. It's any many mighty moe etc trying to peg the CAD days down.
On the webcam I see the slopes firing Guns on all cylinders. They are off to a banter start. Has to be pure powder up there this a.m., see some brave hearts getting it done in 6 degree air up at Beech. Hopefully they can get some below freezing nights , to maintain. Snowpack gonna takes some blows across the chin next couple weeks durig the daytime at a minimum.
And to join the choir. That block over to the west Alaska, just will not budge. Been there for what, at least 2 weeks now, and is still sitting there on the ens, as far as eye can see.

This looks like CAD purgatory. Lovely

If we want to score something good near or just after the New Year, we will probably need to really shorten the wavelengths and cut something off underneath this retrograding -NAO block to time it up with one of these big CAD highs.
I say that because I don’t think we’re moving the Aleutian ridge anytime soon :/. I’d feel better about the odds of something like that happening later in Feb or Mar even but I guess crazier things have happened

It feels like we've been talking about the immovable Aleution ridge for weeks, if not months. Yet, the eastern US, other than a few days, has been much below normal for weeks as well. Even this week, we start the first couple of days frigid, and likely go below normal again this weekend after a couple of days of moderation.
