As a kid did you imagine every Christmas was a White Christmas?*

So Chicago has a 55% chance of a white Xmas. Brisbane has a 0% chance, London has a 6% chance.

Christmas has always been cold and often snowy where I lived and grew up

What's the average high/low on December 25th for both Brisbane and London? Do you happen to have any record high or low data for either?


Chicago/Midway:

Average High: 33F/0.6C
Average Low: 20F/-6.7C
Mean: 27F/-2.8C
Record High: 64F/17.8C (1982)
Record Low: -13F/-25.0C (1983)

In Brisbane its 30/20, in London about 8/3. I'll try and find record info later.

hail is not snow and it must have melted extremely quickly so in fact you never had white christmas

I lived in Poland until i was 14 - most of my christmas days were white, althought i do remember some mild and rainy ones too
here i have never experienced a white christmas - well in 2010 it was close but it melted on 23rd of December after laying on the ground for 2 weeks :/

but its certainly possible in England as i remember heavy snowfall in November here

White Christmasses here since 2003:

2004
2005
2006
2007 (snowed but not settled)
2009

More than 50% are white here.

I grew up in south east England and there were never white christmasses there.

No. As when I was 3 I was scared that Santa can't come as there's no snow on the ground. We have a 60% chance of a White Christmas.

[Weatherfan7]

We have 60% chance going by the ones we've had here.
