If you’ve been dreaming of a white Christmas, be warned that it might not become a reality.
Many people have memories of watching the snow fall on Christmas Day—but data shows that, across the country, a white Christmas occurs less frequently than you might think.
In general, if an area has widespread snow and persistently colder patterns leading up to Christmas, it could be a predictor of snow on Christmas.
But while many people across the country might lament the white Christmases of their youth, the truth is that many places typically don’t see snow in late December—people just think they did.
That doesn’t mean that winter weather hasn’t changed over the years. Climate change is causing temperatures to rise across the country—and it's impacting precipitation patterns.
“Decembers have warmed three to five degrees across the country in the last 75 years,” says Robinson.
While a few degrees might not seem like much, it could mean the difference between snow and rain. “With warmer temperatures being recorded across the nation, the odds of a white Christmas are going down,” says Pete Globe, at the Colorado Climate Center. “So there is at least some truth to the anecdote that we're seeing less white Christmases across a lot of the country.”
That’s due to a mix of climate change and climate variability, the natural fluctuations in climate patterns in a given region. The northeast, upper Midwest and New York and New Jersey are some of the areas where this trend is strongest, says Globe. Climate change is also causing shorter, warmer winters. But that doesn’t mean that a white Christmas will become a thing of the past. Some areas that often see snow might see more intense storms due to climate change, as a warmer atmosphere is able to hold more moisture.

It’s a song. Nobody dreamed of a white Christmas before the song was released.
TIME to,
Say goodbye .... as the song goes
Time Mag Gaslighting Lying as usual.
I can remember one similar winter in the 70s...we moved our sofa so that it was facing the fireplace.
Same here in Central Virginia. Our local Meatheadologist predicted 4-10 inches for the entire winter — blaming climate change for the declining snow amounts — and we’ve already gotten between seven and nine inches (depending on which station gives you the snowfall totals).
This is soooo old, one would think that even clueless ‘journolists’ would have known that it now longer works.
Thanks for the chuckle. Even though it is true that a white Christmas is rare in most parts of USA, the part about temperatures rising 3 to 5 degrees had me chuckling.
I myself have only seen one white Christmas in my life. I had to move from Oregon to south of Baltimore, Md to see one. I’m glad I moved back to Oregon, though. Maryland gets too cold in winter, too hot in summer.
Looks like this winter is going to be like the Fall and Winter of 1976-1977. Brutal cold, ice, snow. It was used as proof we were entering THE COMING ICE AGE which was all the weather men reported about back then.
Wonder what this brutal cold fall and winter will be blamed on. A new ICE AGE?

You can stop it though, by going vegan, staying within 15 minutes of home, and giving me all your money.
I was kid in the 1960s living near shore in Connecticut. A pretty common Christmas gift was a sled and memory is they were put to use right away. I dont see sleds being sold in stores anymore.
Were the 1969s unusually cold?
Global Warming was obviously not happening which is why they changed the scam to Climate Change or Weather.
That’s exactly what I was thinking as well.
It’s all propaganda
Plenty of White Christmas here in the upper Midwest and temperatures below zero. I’m waiting for the global warming so I can plant palm trees at my cabin in northern Minnesota and enjoy sitting by the lake in February.
Quite possibly true, but not because of any imagined climate change.
Big cities create loads of heat. That affects local weather. This has been a known phenom for decades. But, the type of clown who writes articles like this never leaves a city since anything outside Mommy’s basement is scary.
As New England and the northern Midwest are currently buried in snow.
Hilarious.
If I recall correctly, the entire premise of the movie “White Christmas” is that it was unusually warm and dry for the entire month in Vermont leading up to Christmas day. That was why Bob Wallace and Phil Davis wanted to help General Waverly save his Inn.
Maybe “White Christmas” means not a lot of snow. Take that you idiots at Time Magazine. Pffftttttt.
I don’t know about white, but it’s been biting cold already this year. And winter hasn’t even started yet.
There were NEVER white Christmas in Phoenix.
And it was No problem to anybody!
