Looks like winter will go out with a bang; models are shaping up for a massive rain/wind/snow storm hitting the east coast on 12/26 and continuing into 12/27. However, there's no consensus on what area gets what kind of precipitation. Still, if you have travel plans for those days, keep your eye on the forecasts.
here's the latest GFS:

Darn it. I drive north for a week and a half and have to park outside.
this trip is usually a nag, but I do it to drive my Dad up to my brother's for Christmas (I'd prefer chinese or deli and a movie). I've had my windshield spray freeze up at night in sleet on the mass pike at the end of the trip. My car does not like being outside in the cold. Absolute worse time of the year to be committed to going to metro boston.
