Today is a day where "steady or slowly falling" temps is good verbage.

Yes

I agree with this January thinking..

BN month.

I think there are 2 very cold periods

One to open the month and one to close the month.

I think January is much BN with 2 snow chances

1 early month , 1 late month

Jan 5th was already laid out the 2nd one during the last week

The MJO will get pulled into p6 and p7 mid month as some convection fires into the IO.

Then that wave should cross the dateline and bring the forcing into the colder phases

Whatever happened to the raging Pacific jet?

All I was reading the last few months was that as long as it was cold in Siberia (always) and warm SSTs in the Western Pacific (pretty much always now) then we would never be able to sustain negative anomalies in the east.

This is going to be the coldest December in 8 years.

The truth is that there are always multiple factors at play.

We had 2 strat events

That along w a - WPO and TPV in E Canada kept us cold

You see that monster ridge in the Central USA thats because of the PAC

It never got to us because of the above

In January I think its just a cold TBH

southern CA is getting hammered live cam for the Bald Eagles at Big Bear

Merry Christmas to all of you!

Dry and breezy with near normal temperatures today a slight chance of a shower or snow flurry tomorrow morning and then a significant winter event for the entire area by later Friday. This will not be a significant snow event but will be impactful with mixed precipitation that falls occurring with temperatures mainly in the mid to upper 20's. I suspect the predominant precipitation type will be sleet with increasing chances of freezing rain further south and more snow especially as we go north and east toward Trenton and NYC. Rain returns on Sunday night and we turn sharply colder again on Monday.

While we will not have a White Christmas we did have 2 of what we here at ChescoWx call Christmas Season Snows during the present holiday season. Christmas Season Snow represents measurable snow events during the 12 days of Christmas. Based on historical data this occurs here in Chester County on average 2 of every 3 years or 66% of seasons. Below are all of the stats regarding White Christmas chances here in Chester County from 1893 through 2025.
