After a very warm Thanksgiving, Christmas does not disappoint with high temperatures well into the 40s. The featured chart presents the daily high and low temperatures on Christmas Day. Having a day with a high temperature above 45 is rather rare as shown by the red bars on the chart. High temperatures look to continue in the 40s for the rest of the year with no snow in sight.

The featured chart presents the observed daily frequency of snowcover partitioned by if there was snow cover on Christmas and the overall average is shown. The highlighted area shows the period were these three lines show visual differences, which is a way to show the memory of having a white or brown Christmas. In other words, by mid February the frequency of having snow cover does not relate to if we had snow cover on Christmas. Back to the matter at hand of our snow state for this Christmas, well it will be brown with very warm temperatures in the 40s!

The featured chart looks at the daily frequency of having snowcover around the dates when there was an inch or more of snowcover on Christmas Day. Just as people wait until the last minute to complete shopping, sometimes Mother Nature waits till the last moment to make the Christmas white. The chart would indicate that roughly 20% of the white Christmas events occur due to a snowfall within 3 days of the 25th.
