the arctic oscillation, the negative arctic oscillation. what you get is high pressure, warmer weather up over the poles forces the arctic air south. that gives us the colder and snowier pattern. here is how it all added up. first highlights. overall colder and snowier than last winter. no monster snowstorms of more than 15 inches. a sharp change from a warm november to a cold december. january, the snowiest month. and february the mildest month compared to normal. and then winter returns in march. the specifics, in december 4 inches of snow, 2 degrees below normal temps. january 14 inches, near normal temps. february 8 inches, plus two in the temperature department. and then march 6 inches of snow, 2 degrees below normal. a total of 28 to 36 inches of snow and temperatures 2 degrees below normal. >> so 28 to 36 inches, i will take that compared to last winter we had that blizzard. >> that was just the one storm. >> it was a big one. >> we had 2 feet of snow? one storm and the rest of the whole winter we had about 4 inches. we have had some really rough winters in the past ten years, the two snowiest winters ever recorded were happe

air behind it. because of the jet stream, kind of flattens out from west to east. so we get pacific air. little milder. so the cold arctic air stays to the north, real warmth stays to the south, seasonable conditions through the end of the week, upcoming weekends, looks like little surge of some warm air trying to move in later on christmas, into next week. so christmas eve, as of now, looking dry. clouds around, 48 degrees, above average, christmas day, 50, most of the day, should stay dry, in not all of it, see some showers right now, doesn't look like it will happen until later on at night. still chilly today, 40 degrees, another cool night tonight. not as cold. twenty-eight for the city, little colder in the suburbs. skies mostly clear. that extended forecast, again, not much happening, pretty boring, some clouds from time to time. mid to upper 40's, through the ends of the week, again, christmas eve day, 48 degrees christmas day itself, 50's, and next week looks like the low 50's continues monday probably the best chance for some showers. all right, well, rahel took off. so i'm deserted here. jim and rahel both out

the rain. and then this is a much more significant and wider arctic air mass. this is going to cover almost all of the country, except for florida by the time it comes across next saturday and then we start looking at moisture moving across. now everything's moving really, really fast. so it's hard to get a big snowstorm in a pattern like this, but you can get multiple threats of snow over let's say a week or two period of time. temperatures starting to come up a little bit by sunday. back down because of the east wind and the rain monday. but we warm up a little with the rain on tuesday and look what happens later next week. temperatures down, snow chances up. >>> with more than a million people expected to flood times square for new year's eve, the nypd says they are prepared. police commissioner james o'neill said there's no specific threats against the city. heavily armed police officers are already visible in new york city. >>> and confetti filled the air today in times square. officials he s held their annua confetti drop. and it was an opportunity to add

so the arctic air that we have been following, coming right in here, no doubt about it, the problem is, moisture is coming in too, and we got to get the arctic air out of here if you just want rain and that's hard to do. and that's why i think there's going to be some snow first and then we get the changeover. by tuesday, we're warming up again, and there we go, thursday, just a few days before christmas weekend, but some colder air is coming in, so i don't think it's going to be really warm on christmas. now look at this, philadelphia to the lehigh valley, this is an example of neighborhood weather because we're going to see big differences. on saturday, it will get up to 43, early snow and then rain, it will be snowing for many more hours, and more accumulation and it will be colder in lehigh. and look at the difference in the temperature sunday. get it on your app and we have got some big changes, there's the cold air thursday, friday, there's the storm saturday, by sunday morning, look at that, we're in the 50s. and then we cool down next week, at least in the early portion of the
