Farmer’s Almanac Predicts If Pennsylvania Will Have a White Christmas
Having a white Christmas is a big deal in Pennsylvania. I remember as a kid, hearing everyone at school talking about how they were hoping there would be lots of snow for Santa and his reindeer to travel and bring gifts. Well, that hasn’t changed, and lots of people in this area hope and pray for a white Christmas. I, personally, never want snow on Christmas, because it gets in the way of travel plans. But, for those who want the white stuff, the Farmer’s Almanac predicts some specific things on whether Pennsylvania will have a white Christmas.
Before we get to our state, let’s look around America, for those who are traveling. In the lower Great Lakes, the Alamac says, “There will be a white Christmas from New York westward to Wisconsin, but not south of I-90.” Then, in the upper Midwest, “There will be a white Christmas.” That doesn’t make me very happy. But, if you like show, there you go.
Meanwhile, the Southeast, Ohio Valley and deep South will not see a white Christmas. In the Heartland, there will be a white Christmas. Also, in the White Plains, there will be a white Christmas, mostly north of I-70. Finally, the Pacific Northwest will see a white Christmas “across the mountains and foothills, but not along coastal locations,” and the Pacific Southwest will see “a white Christmas across the Sierra Nevada mountains, but not in the valleys or along the coast.” For the New England area, the Almanac predicts, “There will be a white Christmas in the mountains, but not in the foothills and along I-95.”

Now, let’s get to our area. Pennsylvania is in the Farmer’s Almanac’s Zone 1, and so is New York, Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland and Washington, D.C. “Looks like any wintry precipitation comes to an end bringing clear skies for holiday events,” they state. Sounds good to me. For more, go here and here.
