When it's huge amounts or in areas that don't normally get much snow or snow this time of year, I think that's why they say it. Like I'm in south west PA in the area where he thinks we'll get 5 or 6 inches of snow this weekend. The first day of meteorological winter began December 1st and while it's normally cold here this time of year, we don't usually get much snow now. Normally our temperatures here are in the 40s or upper 30s unless we get this arctic air like we've been all month. Usually most of our snowfall is from January to March. Even then we mostly just get rain anymore. I can't remember the last time we had more than than 6 inches of snow at a time. We had almost 6 inches around Thanksgiving but that's the first time we've had that much snow that early in a while. There's been many years we didn't get any snow at all until well in to January. Now if this was more than 20 years ago, it wouldn't be considered historical unless it was multiple feet since we easily had many snow storms with multiple feet of snow at a time back then in my area anyway. I remember so many storms in the 80s and 90s where we got up to 3 feet from a storm. We had one winter where the snow on either side of the road I lived on was easily 10 foot high from the plows and drifting snow. You could barely even see cars in driveways. I miss snow storms like that. We just don't get big ones like that anymore, at least where I am and I'm in the Allegheny mountains in PA so higher elevation. Yesterday the models where showing some places potentially getting up to 2 feet of snow around Christmas along the coast in places like NJ, VA, NC, etc. These places never get that much snow so that would be historical for them if it ended up happening. The models have changed though since then and will many times until next week. Point is, if a place like the coast of Virginia got a foot of snow right now, that would be historic since it normally doesn't happen. If say Buffalo, New York got a foot of snow right now, no one would really bat an eye. Obviously though people are going to use buzz words like historic to get peoples attention. You see that word, you're more likely to read the article, watch the video, etc. They tend to over use these words to much now though and if they end up being wrong, it just makes people not even pay attention anymore.

@@Xessa82 , we are the same way here in the immediate New York City area. It is possible to get snow around here at this time of year (heck we had some just after Thanksgiving and again about a week ago), but to get real snow and cold, we usually don't get it until mid-to-late January. All the historic storms to hit NYC are in February and March like the March superstorm from 1993 and from 1888. We also had a few President's Day storms (as in late February), that were historic too. It's like with hurricane season; though it starts on June 1 each year, the peak of the season is in early September when you get most of your big hurricanes, it seems the same with snowstorms/nor'easters around here. Historically, we usually only get about a 25% chance of a white Xmas around here and we haven't had one (with at least an inch of snow on the ground the morning of December 25), in like 15 years now so it would be about time if this were to happen.
Thank you Bernie for your “clarity” on the snow next weekend. Looks like coastal areas such as NYC and LI will dodge a “snow” bullet! I’m kind of glad about that because I’m not a huge snow fan like I was when I was a kid! Thanks for your clear ideas among all the hype about next weekend! Merry Christmas! 🎄 🎄😊😊🇺🇸🇺🇸
Come on Bernie, just tell us when the low is forecast to move over the 70 - Lat. line. So. Jersey has been waiting years for the big one...thx for the vid! : )
Always AccuWeather this is true weather as it is more professional than those working on RUclips payout weather channels these meteorologists actually are not some RUclips wanna be meteorologist out there Bernie who has been a meteorologist since before RUclips and not some RUclips weather wanna be😊
Dude. You talk too much. Stop worrying 7-9 days out. You know it will change a million times. And you’re going on and on a 3 to 6 inches or one to 3 inches who cares it’s not gonna snow in the big cities on I-95.
@@weskay783 Yup!. Blizzard of 78 in Southern Md. I was 9 years old and my mom had me shoveling snow off the glass sliding doors because she was afraid of them caving in.
That’s a lotta talking to basically say nothing. Might snow. Some. Might not. This light happen. That might happen. Yea. I knew all that without watching the video.
Hang it up give it up with winter. Long range forecast shows way above average temps all the way into January 21. So best of luck with moisture and cold air.
THE BEST WEATHER MAN PERIOD!!!!!
Why does everyone use the word historic when it comes to winter weather it's winter it's supposed to be cold with snow

@@paulmcgraw9284 this must be the best and kindest comment in this entire comment section
We need snow in NYC for the kids, like a few feet.
The DC area is always missed by snow storms it seems like the Appalachian Mountains just
protects everyone east of the Appalachian Mountains storms
Hey I might get snow. Every situation he talked about was my area including this Sunday! Wow.
Whichever model shows no snow is the one thats right and everyone knows it.

I live on top of the 2nd highest mountain of Pennsylvania - always snow instead of rain
so NJ nothing AGAIN

No snow in central NJ please. Others can have it

Why is Connecticut missing this big storm?
National Weather Service just put out Freezing Rain/Drizzle and Snow from 10 pm tonight until 3 pm Saturday in Northern Minnesota...

Never snows in mid atlantic anymore.
its only December, mid Atlantic Christmas snow probability is less than 25 percent
too much concrete I95 / 295 areas ; radiates too much heat now. Big snows from '70s-'80s-'90s just a distant memory...i shoulda saved a snowball : /

@@DavidWarfel-qs9lt Yea? it's been 2-3 years without snow.
@@DavidWarfel-qs9lt These snowless seasons have always started with December just like this. Winter is over for the I95 corridor.
I think we’ll know better by this coming Wednesday
Got a question could the I95 corridor get a snowstorm?
😂
No
So much for a warm winter in the northeast
Did you check the temps after Friday?
@Esignn yeah freezing cold especially next sunday and monday
Why bernie never talk about the west or midwest???
AccuWeather has always been Northeast centric.
Could you give the dates in numbers?
any snow for philadelphia suburds
Indiana/Notre Dame Game Friday night!
Lol, crazed
Pretty cold for only december
Isn’t South Bend outside the usual snowbelt area?

If there are rumors can it be that mysterious?
Gotcha...🙄😑
THE MID OHIO VELLEY IS MY CONCERN!
I wouldn’t worry about it…..not going to happen
Snow Saturday 12/21 may help Ohio State vs Tennessee. Might save Day's job.
What about Michigan?
Could ATL metro get snow next weekend?
Wayyy to early
Listen to this guy. He is usually spot on.
no one follows anyone on x anymore Bernie

Lame. No snow in SE Pennsylvania. As usual
Ohio is exempt from snow as usual…….most of the time meteorologists are not getting weather predictions right…oh well
Gfs is ALWAYS southern cold bias.
