What is our chance of a white Christmas?

Many of you have asked us that question over the past few days and finally the models are hinting at something!

What we know for sure is the weather pattern will remain off the Pacific for the next week. This will keep us rather wet and very mild. In fact now that we've melted off all of the snow we could be above 50° late in the work week.

The GFS computer model advances some pretty harsh Canadian air into the upper plains states by December 22nd. This will allow temperatures to support snow. Whether or not there'll be a white Christmas (at least one inch on the ground) depends on the amount of moisture scooped up from the Gulf. That remains to be seen now, so I'll go with a 1 in 4 chance as of today. Stay tuned! -ERIC
