The chances of a white Christmas in New York City are looking slim, according to meteorologists Cody Braud and Ken Elliott. Braud explained that a warming trend is expected to hit the area in the next two weeks, leading to above-normal temperatures across the country, with limited chances for snowfall. The jet stream is forecasted to keep cold air north of the region, reducing the likelihood of snow on Christmas Day. Elliot agreed, stating that temperatures will remain mild and above normal leading up to Christmas. This means that ice skaters in Central Park may have to enjoy their winter fun without the addition of snow this holiday season. Despite the disappointment for snow-lovers, the lack of snow will mean a snow-free Christmas, saving people from the hassle of shoveling. While things could change in the coming week, for now, it appears that the current weather models are not predicting a white Christmas for New York City. With the forecast pointing towards a warmer holiday season, it seems that dreams of a snowy Christmas may have to be put on hold for another year.
