With the definition of one-inch snow on the ground to be a White Christmas, the weather observer says there is a less than a 50 percent chance from a historical perspective.
Blaess says since 1920 there have been 46 years with a White Christmas and 54 without. Blaess says the last time there was a White Christmas in Clinton was 2017.
