We are down to the wire here in the metro. Wednesday looks like our last chance for a white Christmas.

https://www.dnr.state.mn.us/climate/...christmas.html

In 121 years of snow depth measurements in Twin Cities, a white Christmas happens about 71% of the time. From 1899 to 2019 there have been 35 years with either a "zero" or a "trace." The last time the Twin Cities has seen a brown Christmas was 2018. 2015 was also a "brown Christmas." The deepest snow cover on December 25th was in 1983 with a hefty 20 inches. It was also a very cold Christmas in 1983, with the high temperature of one (1) degree F. It was not the coldest Christmas Day in the Twin Cities. That dubious award goes to 1996 with a "high" temperature of 9 below zero F. The warmest Christmas Day in the Twin Cities was 51 degrees in 1922. There was not a white Christmas that year. In fact, the Minneapolis Weather Bureau log book for that day states that the day felt "spring-like."

I know we have a few out there cheering for a brown Christmas - Boo to you. Snow in October but above average warmth in NOV, DEC. Minnesota weather at its finest.
