A look at this Christmas Eve Day Upper height pattern and who's reporting what. Snowing off Lake Erie and Ontario and into Vermont and light stuff over Eastern MA.
Pretty boring zonal flow mostly. Little dip in the Jet off the West Coast and New England.

Here are the temps
Good travel weather for the most part but yeah a little boring. When you're traveling for the holidays, that is good though...
Northern Europe today at 1 pm Central European Time:
As seen here, Sweden has been much more consistent than previous days, only tiny areas of the far north-east were close to -20°C today, whereas the entire country aside from some offshore islands has been below freezing, the vast majority of which has been in the single digits of minus degrees. There was just a small patch of -14°C temps mid-day inland around 61°N, besides that it was rather consistent. Here it was about -5°C for a high and -9°C for a low, combined with sunshine. One of the best Christmas Eves for weather I can recall.
It all depends on seeing really. Not weather. Steady seeing is needed to view planets at 600 to 1200x power in 10" and bigger scopes. The more moving air cells the worse the image. My best nites to view planets at powers over 1000x is when we have very warm nites with no temps drops in Feb with sea fog just moving on shore. Cold and fast dropping temps make the planets boil at high powers.
Winter is firmly taking over now and also way out on the sea in the Gulf of Saint Lawrence temperatures are now firmly planted way below freezing. Mid-day temperatures of around -20°C now not far north of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence coastline at all.
EXTREME GFS run to run uncertainty in the models today. The prime battle looks to be pertaining to the SE %$# ridge and the ridge off the West Coast. Eastern North America climate fail again even without a complete zonal flow blowtorch. There certainly have not been four seasons of any sort this year.
Forecast to get up to 62F here this afternoon with a sunny sky and low humidity; low of 47F tonight. More moisture arriving and forecast high of 67F tomorrow.
Too warm for Christmas but at least not as bad as '15 and '16.
Could get heavy rainfall Wednesday night and Thursday with maybe a low-end severe threat.
Come on over to northeast Georgia! It's below freezing here right now, and the high today will be in the upper 50s, which is negligibly above normal.
This Dec has been my best fall month since 1997. Now that winter is here back to 80's and no rain for maybe months.
