A White Christmas…For Some – Boston Information, Climate, Sports activities

The setup was there. A fast-hitting however small storm simply days earlier than Christmas had the potential to put down a carpet of snow and for some it did! Areas north & west of Boston picked up between 1-3″ of snow yesterday (Dec twenty third) however nearer to the coast (together with Boston) it was only a bit too heat for any accumulating snow. Boston and areas alongside the coast did some some snow showers earlier immediately (Dec twenty fourth) however not sufficient to place down an inch of snow. And sure, there *technically* is a definition of a White Christmas.

As outlined by the Nationwide Climate Service, a White Christmas is outlined as 1″ of snow on the bottom at 7am on Christmas morning. For a lot of cities, that can occur. For others, akin to Boston, it received’t. There may be an alternate definition by the UK Meteorogical Workplace that claims if a single flake of snow is noticed within the 24-hour interval on Christmas Day, than that is a White Christmas. If that’s the desired definition, then there’s a probability of a White Christmas this yr as I believe there may very well be some flurries early Thursday morning. In any other case, the day isn’t too unhealthy chilly with afternoon temps reaching the mid to higher 30s. Late afternoon, the wind will enhance and that wind will start to drill arctic air into the world.

As for the rest of the Vacation Weekend, a couple of snow showers/flurries are seemingly in a single day Friday evening into early Saturday morning. A coating to an inch is feasible, particularly for cities and cities south and west of metro Boston. One other probability of some precipitation occurs late within the weekend however as of this night, too heat for snow. Maybe some gentle icing earlier than altering to plain rain late Sunday evening and lasting by Monday.
