Weather of Christmases Past

Christmas Eve snow and ice expected across much of US

Are you dreaming of a white Christmas?!

We average about four each decade with two in the last three years, history would say don't bet on it.

We'll see though.

I guess the biggest thing we can hope for is that we do not hit the record lows we hit Christmas morning in 1983, which was 10 degrees BELOW zero, a major switch-up from the previous year's Christmas.

Weirdly enough, 1982 we hit the record warmest Christmas day with 66º!

What a difference a year can make.
