00:00 All right, Santa will be here in four days,

00:02 but he won't find much snow to sled through

00:05 in much of the country.

00:06 Bernie Rayno is checking out the likelihood

00:08 of a white Christmas where you live.

00:10 - Yeah, I've certainly been dreaming of a white Christmas

00:14 for the last month, but unfortunately,

00:16 here at the Rayno household in AccuWeather HQ,

00:18 that's all it's gonna be is a dream.

00:20 In fact, this amount of snow we have in the country,

00:23 this may be one of the greenest Christmases

00:26 we've seen since the early '70s here.

00:28 Take a look at the snow cover, a couple of areas.

00:30 Now this is from the snow that fell

00:33 in the wake of our storm Monday into Tuesday.

00:35 And I suspect while it's gonna warm up,

00:37 a lot of this snow is gonna remain intact.

00:40 But even in the West, you've gotta go in the mountains here

00:43 where you start picking up the snow.

00:45 And we're not done with the snow either

00:46 in the northern Rockies either,

00:48 'cause we've got a storm that's gonna be coming

00:50 south and east over the next couple of days.

00:52 One storm in the Northwest, upper level low in California,

00:55 and guess what?

00:56 We're gonna be looking at additional snow here,

00:58 mostly as we head into the weekend.

01:00 Watch this across Colorado, there it goes.

01:03 Even around Denver, there'll be a little stripe of snow

01:06 across parts of Nebraska and the Dakotas.

01:08 But notice what's going on here,

01:10 especially in the north central, northeast.

01:12 No snow, it's actually gonna be turning a little warmer

01:15 as we head toward Christmas.

01:17 So unless, I mean, we may even have to trim back

01:20 this a little bit here.

01:21 Unless we can get a little snow on Christmas Eve

01:25 and Christmas night, which is maybe a little possible

01:27 around the Minneapolis area.

01:28 I suspect there's no, no white Christmas in Minneapolis.

01:33 Much of the northeast, you have to get near the lakes,

01:35 but in the Rockies, hey, if you're going skiing

01:38 in the Rockies, central, southern Rockies,

01:41 or any of the Rockies into Mount West,

01:42 plenty of snow, and it's gonna look quite festive.
