Here in Wisconsin, the pattern is we almost always have a white Christmas. It may not be much, but it always seems to snow on Christmas eve. We rarely have a brown Christmas. Ask someone who’s been around a while, like age 50 or above, about local weather patterns.

@fatima20 I do hope to see snow in December(which we usually don’t get any snow that time of the winter). Being since the holidays are around the corner, it would surely amplify my Christmas spirit. let alone having snow for the rest of the winter this year.

http://www.accuweather.com sorry the last outlook didn’t turn up in other link. But I am sure you can find it on here somewhere. But again, their outlook sucks, i find it inaccurate and I hope to god their wrong and I expect colder and more wintry weather for the northeast/mid-Atlantic region this winter

@fatimas20
I’ll bet my money on your predictions. Cuz I cannot take this stupid mild conditions, even though it still feels chilly and that the cold’ll come my way in time and have more snow than we had last year for the entire winter.

Interstate lover-small world! How funny, both of us from the same area, both snow lovers! Most people around here hate the snow, but I love it, and I say that if you don’t like the snow, move to Florida!
I love your confidence about us having a White Christmas, but what makes you so sure? I sure hope that you are right! Have you seen the weather for the next couple of week? Temps up and down like a roller coaster! I just want it to be cold!

Doesn’t sound like the models favor much of a chance of a white Christmas for eastern Colorado, but like you and I both know, the models are nothing more than algorithms compiled and determined by a computer to take a wild guess at what the atmosphere will possibly trend toward.
Just so everyone knows, we understand the atmosphere about as well as we do our oceans, so in other words, we can come out with all the models we want, but it doesn’t really matter how good it looks if it doesn’t even come close to what actually happens, for instance, I have seen freak snowstorms pop up seemingly out of nowhere before, due to the fact that the models never saw a low developing, or at least never saw a disturbance as strengthening into a powerful low pressure.
It has happened before, so don’t always rely on models alone to determine the weather for your area, sometimes you just have to go on gut instinct, and what you see actually happening in the atmosphere and then put two and two together.

Yeah and I got a strong feeling us east coasters(including mid atlantic) will have a very good share this winter – better chances for more snow, than what we had last year

Omigoodness-just as I checked this, “White Christmas” came on the tv!
Anyway, interstate lover, small world! I am guessing that you are also hoping for a white Christmas.
Weatherman, thanks for your input. I guess you are right, we will see what happens. Many of you are so involved with what is going on with the weather, I was just wondering if there are any predictions or thoughts going on out there as far as the holidays are concerned. I really am hoping for a White Christmas! I wonder if anyone else is going to have any predictions?
