White Christmas unlikely: Environment Canada
All indications are that eastern Idaho will have a very white Christmas – similar to past year when a major winter storm hit the region on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

“It’s impossible to get any snow flakes before Christmas day”, said Environment Canada meteorologist Simon Legault. “Most of British Columbia, with the exception of the lowest elevations along the south coast, will also see a white Christmas”.
Half of all Canadians will see a white Christmas this year, in what The Weather Network’s chief meteorologist is calling “a tale of two seasons”.
So instead of the snow shovel and windshield scraper, travelers and last minute shoppers this week should probably arm themselves with an umbrella and leave the heavy winter coats at home.
“There’s only been a few days we’ve fallen below freezing”, said Wolfe.
Mt. Baker Ski Area, with already the highest amount of snow in North America, received 40 more inches of new snow since Thursday, Dec. 17, according to its snow report.
But the data shows that it’s not that unusual to wake up on December 25 to find no snow on the ground here, and no flakes blowing in the air.
It will take a Christmas miracle for Oakville residents to see snow on the ground come Christmas morning.
After weeks of damaging rain and flooding, forecasters say a significant wind storm Monday will likely bring down trees and branches and lead to widespread power outages across northwest OR and southwest Washington Monday. “El Nino and the polar vortex are combining to keep us pretty warm”. “Definitely in the past, what we’ve seen from El Niño has hinted that we would have a warmer than normal December”.
In case there is snow on your way to or from your destination this holiday remember even if you’re stuck behind one, it is illegal to pass a snow plow that is clearing the road at any speed over 60 km/h.

Over the past 10 years, only one Christmas counted as truly flawless: 2013 had 33 cm on the ground, and 1.5 cm fell that day, Environment Canada shows. Blame it on El Nino!
