Snow Cover This Christmas

We definitely enjoyed a White Christmas in the Quad Cities thanks to the snow last weekend.  And, we weren't alone. 

Here is the current snow cover map of the United States (at least, the lower 48).  Anywhere you see any shade of blue indicates where there's enough snow on the ground to qualify as a "White Christmas".

Right now, 40% of the country is covered by snow.  Last year, on December 26th, 61% of the country had snow cover.

However, from 2003-2006, less than 30% of the country was snow-covered on December 26th.

Some light snow or flurries is possible today, but no accumulation is expected.
