White Christmas
Will you wake up to a white Christmas?
How often your town has had snow on the ground on Christmas morning, counted from its weather station's own record for the last 30 years, the whole country on one map, and the forecast for Christmas morning from December 18.
How often your town has had snow on the ground on Christmas morning: an inch or more at the morning reading, the line NOAA uses, counted from the nearest weather station's own daily record for the last 30 Christmases. Type your town to see its 30 Christmases, white or green, and the last white one.
The map shows the whole country, from the stations that measured at least 20 of those Christmases. The forecast for Christmas morning starts on this page on December 18.
How it is counted
Each town answers from its nearest long-running station at about its height. A year with no reading is left out of the count, never counted as white or green. NOAA's own 1991-2020 chance for the station is shown beside the count and named as NOAA's.
The forecast
From December 18, when four forecast models reach Christmas morning, the page says how many of them have an inch or more on the ground in your town that morning.
