SUMMARY: In Nashville, the historical chance of a “White Christmas” is only 5%, with at least one inch of snow on the ground or fallen on Christmas Day in just 5 of the past 100 years. The likelihood of any snow (a trace) is slightly better at 17%. The last measurable snowfall on Christmas was in 2010, while the snowiest Christmas was in 1963 with 6 inches. This year, forecast temperatures are projected in the 40s and 50s, making a white Christmas unlikely, with rain predicted instead. The outlook for 2024 also shows an almost zero chance for a white Christmas.

SUMMARY: NASA astronauts Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore have had their mission extended, delaying their return to Earth until late March or April, 10 months after launching on June 5 aboard Boeing’s Starliner capsule. Initially planned for just a week, their stay has grown to eight months due to a delay in launching their replacements. NASA had to push back the next crew’s launch, originally set for February, because SpaceX requires more time to prepare a new capsule. The agency chose to wait for this capsule to ensure a smooth transition with overlapping crews at the International Space Station.
