    Who could see a white Christmas? Not many. But the BIG exception though the Mountain West where there will be tons of snow. Otherwise, just the northern Plains, northern Great Lakes and northern New England will have snow cover Christmas morning.

    Stormy in California on Christmas Eve with tons of snow in the mountains and heavy rain in Southern California... a couple inches possible in Los Angeles.

    Here's the latest forecast precipitation totals through Christmas afternoon. The period with the highest amounts has also slowed a bit to Thursday and Friday. Biggest impact will be on the roadways. Travel safe this Holiday weekend!

    This past weekend in Scotland, climbers witnessed the amazing Brocken spectre phenomenon-- as their shadows were cast onto a bank of fog and surrounded by colorful circles of light. We explain the glorious conditions creating this scene: 📷

    After yesterday’s gray solstice sunrise there was slightly more drama this morning. Still cold and damp – but no wind (yet).

    Super cool. Over the weekend hikers in Scotland spotted a seldom-seen phenomenon known as "Brocken spectre" - it looked like a ghost floating over a bank of fog. Actually, it was their shadows surrounded by rings of colorful light, or a glory. 📷Toby Stead
