Does it Count as a White Christmas if it Comes Christmas Night?

Although we've been in a mild pattern of sorts the last several days, there is a real chance of at least an inch of snow Christmas Day late making for what would be deemed a "Hallmark" Christmas night.  Prior to that, another deep negatively tilted trough will be wasted here in December as there is simply too much mild air across the continent and thus, we will have an Annie Lennox Friday.  Please humor me for a few maps...

First, the snow on Christmas night...

And mild it will be for a bit...at least compared to norms.  Here is the Euro ensembles for Christmas week...note the cold building in central O Canada!

As for the Annie Lennox Friday...

And the total by Saturday...I believe we can see 2" if this develops the way I see it with the negatively tilted trough!  Heck, I may even be able to open some sheltered windows as temps could exceed 60°F and allow for some tropical warmth to invade our home!

What a waste...a huge negative in the mid-levels with no cold air!  Ouch!

OK...I'll update you on the Christmas snow po later, but for now enjoy the Eurythmics accurate description of this Friday and frankly this year!

I'm out...

AA:  Another 1-2" of rain keeping things maxed out in terms of soil moisture, stream levels, etc...watching for a light snow Christmas night.
