Despite an active start to December with snow-heavy storms and Arctic blasts across much of the U.S., the outlook for a white Christmas is limited this year. Temperatures are currently running above average, reducing snow coverage across most of the country. While Northern Tier cities like Minneapolis, Marquette, and Burlington may still see some snow, much of the Lower 48 faces warmer conditions leading up to the holiday. Forecast models suggest below-normal chances of a white Christmas compared to historical averages.
