Well, after 2 weeks of dry weather (2nd longest for the month), we finally got some rain today. Thankfully it stayed until after my morning race. :bigass:   This will be like this for a few days until back to dry weather, another update then as models are currently uncertain 10 days out if there will be an arctic blast here or not.
ODOT, raise the speed limit and fix our traffic problems.

Just in: Models are more certain of an attic blast to the Portland area:
December 26 high (mean ensemble): 27
Ensemble mean on snow on January 1: 2 inches deep (although not confident based on wide spread here)
Chance of snow this coming Friday is increasing. The Euro model has a half an inch falling that day although the GFS still has none.

Until then: just wet and/or cloudy.
ODOT, raise the speed limit and fix our traffic problems.

Unseasonably mild for the week leading up to Christmas. Models have been hinting at a Christmas Day snow before a decent arctic blast  :-(

Another change in the models: Snow and ice are now coming on Christmas day here.

1.1 inches of rain here, 70% of my December rainfall.

And Santa Barbara can't get a lick of rain for the fires. Insane how the West Coast topography and overall upper air pattern influences the weather

Those chances appear to have dwindled. I was also seeing a chance of ice for Christmas up here, but it looks like it will be raining both here and down in Portland as well.

cooler than yesterday but still in the 40s.

It's always been uncertain however the main model runs have been switching constantly so I don't know what to trust anymore. Yesterday was snowy for Christmas, today it's borderline, tomorrow...

Currently snowing and 32 degrees, and there's more snow forecast for tomorrow afternoon/evening. So it looks like we're going to have a white Christmas here for the first time in several years.

Really awesome, 75 Degrees and calm. Just another winter day in Miami  :sombrero:

Model update: American models want freezing rain tomorrow, European models want snow tomorrow. European model also has the snow on the ground until Wednesday. Most TV meteorologists are siding with the American models.

We shall see.

Also seeing a change of forecast up here. Now, Tacoma may see 1-3 inches of snow, depending on the elevation, from Sunday night into Monday. Tomorrow morning should be dry, with the precip arriving later in the day, initially in the form of freezing rain or rain, before transitioning to snow.

Up in Vancouver, the chances of a White Christmas seem quite certain. It's very cold. The question is not whether it will snow or rain, but whether or not precipitation will arrive. Most of the American forecasts suggest no precip at all, whereas TWN and the CBC are predicting snow (just not a bunch, but cold enough for it to stick around through Christmas Day).

72° and cloudy, forecast high today 79°. I know that's normal, but it still doesn't feel like Christmastime.

Got a couple inches of snow overnight and into today. It's still coming down, too. :cool:

I'm guessing you're not in suburban DC.

High of 33 today (at midnight) and half an inch of snow sandwiched in between .1 inch of ice on each side. Won't melt till Christmas afternoon.

Keeping posts seprate for simplicity sake:

Forcasters here went total bust today, but are other areas of the country like Portland and Seattle with uncertainty common? I don't know much except for my area and the Peoria TV stations.

4 hours ago the forecast called for up to 1"  of snow in my area.   Now there's a winter storm warning for my area and they're calling for 6-8"  :banghead: :angry:  And after tomorrow it's not going to get above 25 degrees until after New Years.  Boy are we paying the piper for a warm Fall and 2 easy winters here on the North Slope of CT
Interstates I've clinched: 97, 290 (MA), 291 (CT), 291 (MA), 293, 295 (DE-NJ-PA), 295 (RI-MA), 384, 391, 395 (CT-MA), 395 (MD), 495 (DE), 610 (LA), 684, 691, 695 (MD), 695 (NY), 795 (MD)

Areas south of Seattle got "plenty" of snow this evening...first white Christmas since 2008!
