I have already had a whole bunch of people ask for a Christmas forecast. The short answer is if you want to see snow this Christmas, head to Mount Washington. They should do quite well. :). There do not appear to be any indications of an imminent cold snap so ya, green Christmas me thinks. 🙂

In the short term, we have a couple of dry days before rain invades on Thursday. We will get 30mm by Friday morning. Some of this may fall as snow on Sutton Pass.
