WASHINGTON 鈥� With temperatures , there’s little聽chance the D.C. region will聽see a white Christmas. While the mid-Atlantic is used to a holiday without snow, this year, snow is聽farther away than usual.
Those who want to see snow will have to make the trek to聽Minnesota.
“Looks like there’s not going to be anywhere you can drive within several hours to get any natural snow,” says Bob Oravec, lead forecaster at the National Weather Service in College Park.
Unlike most winters, New England won’t see any flakes, nor will upstate New York and the Great Lakes region. See the National Weather Service’s constantly .
“This year, we have almost no snow on the ground across those areas,” Oravec says.
However, west of the Rockies is a frostier聽frontier.
“It looks like there’s going to be a chance for additional heavy snow, and there’s a lot of winter watches and warnings out across the western U.S. currently,” Oravec says.
While Washingtonians likely won’t see any snow, we are set to break a different record.
“This is probably going to be one of the warmest, if not the warmest, December across the large portion of the eastern U.S.,” Oravec says.
Much of the eastern half of the country聽could reach a new maximum high temperature and maximum low temperature on Christmas Eve, he says.
