Models this AM continue to moderate the airmass within the 10 day period. The chance of a white christmas is around 20% this year which is better than 0.

Edit: The 925s and 850s seem to support snow the whole way, albeit it's close.

Not sure I agree this time. I looked at the relevant temps (925, 850 and 2m) and they all supported at least sloppy snow at the worst. I would also say there's a lot more detail - terrain bleed snow tends to just be one line down from the northwest to the southeast. There's probably some bleed in this but I think it's a lot more than that.

Longer range aside, there are some encouraging improvements in the shorter term... always nice to see.
