45-day snow map is impressive for an ensemble mean as the 2nd half of Dec could be interesting:

- Tranquil weather the next few days, and then just some showers swinging through Friday afternoon/evening, followed by a rainy day on Sunday.

- Once we get beyond around December 4th, snow chances should slowly increase, and the Euro ensembles are showing a fairly snowy 2nd half of December into early January. I have seen the snow maps from all 50 ensemble members, and with an average of 6 inches of snow on Long Island, some individual members are showing some pretty high totals.
