Snow White Christmas?

Snow White Christmas?

We've had December's first snowfall in our neck of the woods which has got us to wondering; will 2014 be a white Christmas? A spot of preliminary research on the Met Office's website suggests that the answer is likely to be no. Historically, snowy wintry weather is far more likely to occur between the months of January and March than December. Snowfall averages five days in December whilst January and February get 7.6 and 6.8 average days respectively.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's also interesting to note that white Christmases were more common during the 18th and 19th centuries before the advent of climate change brough about higher average global temperatures. The last recorded white Christmases in the UK were 2009 and 2010, so perhaps we are due one this year. Whether you view a white Christmas as a logistical hindrance or an exciting opportunity to get involved in snowball fights and sled races, there is no denying that the sight of a snow covered Christmas morning is undeniably beautiful and inspiring.
