Now when you compare this map to today’s snowfall coverage map from the NWS National Operational Hydrologic Remote Sensing Center (NOHRSC) map (below) or Intellicast’s Snow Cover Map (below) it is looking like a White Christmas for almost 50 percent of the lower 48 (if splitting hairs, it is 42.9% of coverage as of 12/23). This is far better than it was looking like leading up to and on Christmas Day last year when only 37.2% of the lower 48 was covered; for New England, only northern Maine lucked out last year (map below). So if you’re in New Hampshire and dreaming of a White Christmas, it is looking like this will be your year.
