Dreaming of a white Christmas?
Source: Anthony Daniel.
Christmas is right around the corner, and while winter has been touch and go, there’s a good chance that we will not be looking out the window at a winter wonderland this week.
The plummeting temperatures the region experienced this weekend are not to last, with warmer days predicted, and a chance for mixed precipitation on the big day.
Even if we manage to eke out a white Christmas the precipitation isn’t set to last – with an extremely warm weekend to follow.
