SUMMARY: As Christmas approaches, weather specialist Chris Higgins examines past weather patterns in St. Louis. The record for the snowiest Christmas was in 1913, with 9.2 inches of snow. Generally, there is only a 20% chance for an inch or more of snow on Christmas, with measurable snowfall occurring about once every ten years. He recalls an extreme cold Christmas in 1983 with temperatures of -13°F and notes the warmest Christmas recorded at 71°F in 1889. Regardless of the weather, Higgins encourages everyone to cherish time with family during the holiday season.

Christmas is less than two weeks away and everybody wants to know is it going to be a white Christmas. Before we can answer that, we have to look back at the history of Christmas here in St. Louis.
