What are Your Chances of a White Christmas?



If you are dreaming of a white Christmas this year then you might like to check out this interactive map from NOAA. NOAA's White Christmas map uses historical weather data to provide a prediction of the chance of experiencing at least 1 inch of snow at your location on Christmas Day. The whiter the map at your location then the more chance there is of having a white Christmas.

NOAA's odds of a white Christmas are based on the last three decades of snow records. If you want to know your chances of snow on Christmas Day based on the current forecast then you can refer to Accuweather's long range weather forecast.
