Now that temperatures have abruptly plummeted, we’re curious if it will snow on Christmas day in NYC. Will we be treated to a white Christmas this year?
We’re still anxiously awaiting our first snow of the season as of early December, and considering NYC’s temperatures currently rival those of Alaska, we might be getting flurries sooner than December 25th. But as for the big day itself? We’ll have to defer to the experts.
Will it snow on Christmas day, according to Farmers Almanac?
In typical fashion, Farmers Almanac has broken down the U.S. by region to indicate where flurries will accumulate, but on the holiday itself, the resource indicates that “most of the United States will be seeing a milder, gentler winter than average.”
The Atlantic Corridor will not be seeing a white Christmas this year, so no need to pull out the shovels and sleighs just yet. (Feel free to keep ’em on standby just in case.) It will be a dry and mild holiday. As far as our neighbors go, there could potentially be snow in northern Maine, but the rest of New England will also be fairly tame. (We’re, frankly, just as surprised.)
Though who’s to say things won’t change? Should the gentle holiday take a turn for the stormier, we’ll be sure to keep you posted.
