However, Calgarians will not get “a flawless Christmas”, which Environment Canada defines as an active snowfall on Christmas Day, a very rare occurrence for our city, he said.

“You’ll want to sit inside by the fire instead of getting outside and enjoying those cold weather toys”, Carter said.

December 25 could see temperatures in the 6 to 7 C range, Carter added, noting that will be good news to some people.

On the other hand, the warmest temperature seen on Christmas Day in Calgary was 15.1 C in 2005. “We have you at -3 for Boxing Day with probably one to three centimetres of snow falling throughout the day”. But the forecast for today to the south anticipates less than an inch of snow from southwest Minnesota across most of the south central part of the state including the Twin Cities.

The sunniest days will be Christmas Eve and Christmas Day and those will be fairly clear and that goes along with the colder temperatures, said Carter. He said mild temperatures will take a sudden dip around Christmas. “We’ll be breaking a lot of records”.
