It's December Eve! (And White Christmas Probability)

Hey everyone, can you believe tomorrow is the first day of December?!? Well, I figured I'd get a jump start on the holiday-ish blog posts, so here is some info on whether we are going to have a white Christmas! I went to the NOAA (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) webpage, and found some details. Here is the probability of having a white christmas for our area, and the probability for each amount of snowfall:

Everyone, including NOAA, The National Weather Service, and The National Climatic Data Center (NCDC), predicts about a 60-80% chance of having a white Christmas for our area of NY. Yay!
