"But if the courses be departed from, the ends will change. NOAA released a map showing the odds of snow throughout the U.S. “Men’s courses will foreshadow certain ends, to which, if persevered in, they must lead," said Scrooge. For Pittsburgh, Denver and Detroit the chance of snow is nearly one in three. While less than even, the odds of snow blanketing Milwaukee, Cleveland or Salt Lake City on Dec 25th are still pretty high, at 40 percent or more. The table below gives the probabilties of Christmas snow for 51 US cities.

Time series for other cities: Binghamton, NY | Buffalo, NY | Burlington, VT | Caribou, ME | Concord, NH | Duluth, MN | Erie, PA | Fairbanks, AK | Grand Forks, ND | Ithaca, NY | Madison, WI | Portland, ME | Rochester, NY | Salt Lake City, UT | Sioux Falls, SD | Syracuse, NY The National Weather Service defines a white Christmas as having 1 inch of snow on the ground on the morning. This time series shows Christmas Day snow depth decreasing over the last 50 years. All except Burlington have snow on the ground as of Monday, the weather service said. A round of spotty snow flurries Sunday night will likely be the last precipitation the Chicago area will see for a while possibly all the way through Christmas, meteorologists said. And climate models support a further decrease as winter temperatures continue to warm. We made a time series of the amount of snow on the ground on December 25 for the last 50 years for several cities and found that Christmas Day snow depth has a clear decreasing trend in the Northeast. Lansing and Kalamazoo around a 50 percent chance of snow on.
