White Christmas
Will Pine Ridge, SD have a white Christmas?
Pine Ridge, South Dakota had snow on the ground on Christmas morning in 18 of the last 30 Christmases (1996 to 2025). The last white Christmas there was in 2023.
Measured at Gordon 6n, 20 miles southeast of Pine Ridge. That station is far enough from Pine Ridge, or high or low enough, that this is its own record rather than a call for the town. A white Christmas is an inch or more of snow on the ground at the Christmas morning reading, the line NOAA uses, counted from the station's own daily record.
