White Christmas 2026: Seasonal Snow Outlook Released
The Farmers' Almanac has released its long-range seasonal outlook for Christmas 2026, highlighting regions with potential for snow cover. A 'White Christmas' is defined as having at least 1 inch of snow on the ground on December 25, regardless of whether snow falls on the day itself. Historically, areas such as the Rockies, Sierra Nevada, Minnesota, Maine, and upstate New York have strong prospects for snow cover during the holiday. The forecast suggests that northern cold snaps and southern storms could influence snow chances across the U.S., with mountain destinations being more likely to see snow than lowland areas. NOAA advises checking local forecasts within seven days of Christmas for more precise predictions. (Source: Farmers' Almanac, published Nov. 5, 2026)
