Maybe you remember the super warm Christmas back in 1982 when we reached 66° degrees. Perhaps you remember the following Christmas when the high temperatures was 1°. Most of remember the brutally cold period leading up to Christmas last winter (2022).

What was the Christmas weather like when you were a kid? I created this handy chart showing the Christmas weather history for northern Ohio going back to 1940.
Enjoy!
As of this writing (December 18 at 7am) we haven't seen shovel-able snowfall since November 28th.
The last time this happened was...well, last year. Here are the years where we saw less snow between Nov 28 and Dec 17. Notice how the occurrences were more sporadic before the 2000s.

Snowfall departures across the US are also running well below normal. Interesting that portions of northern Missouri, central Kansas, North Dakota and parts of New England running well above normal.
