Will New Philadelphia Have a White Christmas?

AccuWeather is predicting 45 degrees and sunny for Santa Clause’s arrival day here in New Philly.

There is nothing more magical than to look out your window on Christmas morning and see a full blanket of white, glittering snow. This is not just for the kids, folks. Americans preferring a ‘White Christmas’ has been drilled into our heads since the beginning of time.

There is an actual definition for a ‘White Christmas’ and the chances of it hitting New Philadelphia this year are not in the cards. The definition from the American Meteorological Society states the main requirement is that at least an inch of snow must be on the ground at some point on December 25^th.

In Ohio, the Southern half of the state has the lowest chance of a ‘White Christmas’. Northeast Ohio has the largest historical chance, and it usually hits right where you would think: the snow belt of Ashtabula and Geauga counties.

Cleveland 19 News reported: before 2017, when we received .6 inches of snow on Dec. 25, the last time it had snowed on Christmas Day was in 2003 when 2.3 inches of celestial, white wonder fell from the sky.

Even though it is still too early to tell. AccuWeather is predicting 45 degrees and sunny for Santa Clause’s arrival day here in New Philly. The probability of precipitation is only at 1%. But do not let that stop you from hoping for the “White Christmas’ 2020 so desperately needs. Keep checking this link to see if anything changes throughout the rest of December.
