Typically, a white Christmas is not something we see here in Philadelphia or much of the Delaware Valley. The exception to that would be the northern edge of the Lehigh Valley in the Poconos, which obviously has a much better chance of snow any time during the winter season.

It'll be a snowless Christmas and holiday season for the Philadelphia metro area, as the slight warming trend will continue through the new year.

Keep dreaming of a white Christmas in Philadelphia, the Delaware Valley, and Lehigh Valley because it's not happening this year. It's actually rare to get or have snow on the ground on Christmas. There's only a 16 percent chance in any year.

Philly has gotten off to a shaky start this season, holding an underwhelming record of 10-17. They’ve seen a number of injuries plague their roster and create uncertainty from night to night, but the Celtics have a little uncertainty themselves for tonight’s festivities.

Christmas is approaching nearly as fast as Santa’s sleigh, but will the weather stuff your stocking with snow or coal on the holiday?
