It'll almost certainly be a White Christmas in Boston after last week's surprise storm dropped 5-to-6 inches on the city.
State of play: To qualify as a white Christmas, there needs to be at least 1 inch of snow on the ground.
- With temperatures expected to stay cold, don't expect much melting between now and the big day.
Plowing the news: There probably won't be snow falling Christmas Day, but at least in Boston, there should still be enough white stuff on the ground to make things slippery.
- Tonight it's expected to snow again, accumulating less than an inch, according to the National Weather Service.
🌨️ Christmas Eve morning should see that light snowstorm tail off and settle around 35 degrees.
- Tuesday night temps are expected to drop to the low-20s
🌞 Christmas Day's forecast calls for sun with a high around 34.
- Wednesday night will get a bit cloudy and drop back to the mid-20s.
Between the lines: The NWS says Boston has a 25%-40% historical probability of having at least an inch of snow on the ground at Christmas.
