If you have been dreaming of a white Christmas then the map below will let you know what the chances are that your dream will come true.
The probabilities for a white Christmas are based on the 1981-2010 normals data, which used stations that maintained at least 25 years of snowfall data. A White Christmas (as defined by the National Climatic Data Center) is one with an inch or more of snow on the ground at 7 A.M. Christmas morning.
