Night Shift 6z GEFS. Moses Lake 850s. Coldest run yet I believe. The mean temp is down to almost -7c with a large cluster of cold members. There are still some warm members which are skewing the mean from going even colder, but overall this is decent progress in the right direction signaling a pattern change beginning around roughly New Year's Eve.

The official H/L yesterday at GRR was 25/9 there was a trace of snowfall the sun was out 65% of the time. There was 3” of snow on the ground. For today the average H/L is 34/23 the record high of 57 was in 1941 the coldest high of 15 was in 1989,1951 the record low of -11 was in 1989 the warmest low of 44 was in 1931. The most snowfall of 8.5” was in 1951 the most on the ground was 19” in 1951.

PHX did it again...4 days of Record highs in the Valley of the Sun! It was a balmy, 79F, with calm winds nearly all day along with blue skies. The next 3 days we shall have temps remain in the upper 70's until Christmas Day when a storm rolls through the 4 corners. It'll be a nice and Festive Snowy Christmas Eve and Christmas Day for those traveling up to Park City, UT...or...Aspen/Vail area...One of my Bucket List trips is to experience a Holiday Season up in the mountains and hopefully Mother Nature delivers bountiful snow.

Happy Sunday Funday! It's rally time as the holiday season is in the Final stretch and we have also entered the time of year when Winter really begins to show up. While some of you will have their snow eaten away (dang Grinch)...Mother Nature has her way at the end of the day. Is it time to start tracking Winter storms??? My bet is that the New Year's system and the opening week of JAN will be filled with a lotta Winter coming down the Piper!

I'm happy for you and your family being able to enjoy a White Christmas that's pretty much a lock (that goes for the rest of the GL's peeps). The deep snowpack that has developed over Ontario is definitely aiding in the low level cold. This DEC as a a whole has been one that you can say had a much different "Holiday Feel". Soak it up bud!
