Our countdown to Christmas continues on this, the first day of winter. So yeah, it's really on now. Projected temperatures through the week are trending up compared to .

Each day this week, I'll provide weather forecasts from seven* services: AccuWeather, Foot's Forecast, National Weather Service, Old Farmer's Almanac, Time Temperature, the Weather Channel and Weather Underground.

A lunar eclipse and a white Christmas in the same week—is it possible?

*At the request of multiple loyal readers, I have added Foot's Forecast to the list, along with Time Temperature. I cannot provide detailed daily outlooks from Foot's Forecast, so I have pasted and linked its summary at the end. If you find the detailed update, please let me know.

Check back Wednesday for updated forecasts.
