Up to 0.9″ Snow Lastnight…………..White Christmas Thoughts

Good afternoon weather family! I love the thoughts, collaboration & participation from all of you on here! We are all a family on here who loves weather & climate! Thank you!
Up to 0.9″ of snow fell last night in our northeast. Andrew, in promotions here, said his car was covered in snow in southern Cass County. I had just some “dandruff” on the car wind shield here in West Lafayette after flurries all night.
In my winter outlook, I had NO White Christmas this year. We are 3-0 on White Christmas predictions, but we will see how this year unfolds.
There is a system brewing around Christmas Eve. Some models have nice snow event, but looking at the subtropical ridge east & southeast of here, thinking shift to the north is likely with rain here.
We will see…………
With warm-up & California storm moving through central Illinois Saturday, showers are likely here. That system could evolve into a Nor’Easter early next week with snow & wind in the Northeast U.S. Meanwhile, another system will dive into southern California & that may bring us rain before Christmas.
Any feelings for early next week Chad?
Ok..bout to put the unlucky snowshovel away..lol. Anyone thought about the “snow dance” yet? Just a thought..lol
I’m not putting my snowplow on my tractor this year, until I know 100% that I’m going to need it,L.O.L. Heck I might even mow my grass this weekend!!!!
What is this GFS, that some of you mentioned and does it still show a possibility of a white christmas ?
@ Becky, the GFS is the American weather model. There is also the European (Euro). These are weather models that meteorologists use a lot to guide some of there forecasts.
