So long storm 1

Almost one year ago to the day, we were bracing for our first blizzard of winter. Ultimately, the mid-Atlantic got the jackpot, with DC, Baltimore and Philly saw almost two feet of snow. We got about 10, but that's more than we will get from the storm that is about to miss us.

Last year, we ended up with 15 inches of snow in December. As of now, we don't even have a trace! Almost 1 month overdue from our first average snowfall. Those are the breaks I guess. It certainly has been cold enough and that won't change.

In the days leading up to Christmas, we will be dealing with annoying light snow that will likely not even accumulate. Map below shows the movement of our teaser storm out in the ocean. Those incraments are 12 hours and you will notice that the storm doesn't move much the next few days, actually stalling out. Just makes it more bitter sweet. This would have been a big one had it not moved east.

Not to worry! There is the possibility of another winter storm on Christmas night! The stormy pattern won't change this week and you knew it was only a matter of time before another one took a shot at us. This one looks less complicated than the first storm. There is already model agreement, but that means nothing days out.

Snow on Christmas is a nice thought though.
