Millions in the Great Lakes and Northeast regions are under winter weather alerts as an arctic high moves east, bringing frigid temperatures and potential snowfall. While a White Christmas is unlikely in New York City, some snow showers are possible elsewhere in the region. Heavier snow is expected in the interior Northeast and Maine. Meanwhile, heavy rain and mountain snow are forecast for the West on Monday night.
Around 10 million people are under winter weather alerts Monday in the Great Lakes and Northeast regions, where some residents may be waking up to a White Christmas. 'Much of the East Coast region will have a very cold start to the holiday week on Monday, with an arctic surface high slowly moving east across the region,' the National Weather Service said in an advisory Monday.
But the question remains — can residents in the area expect a White Christmas? The prerequisite for a White Christmas is at least one inch on the ground, which is unlikely to happen in New York City, but some snow showers are possible elsewhere in the region the day of Christmas Eve. The heavier snow is expected in the interior Northeast and into Maine. One thing Northeast and Midwest residents can expect for certain, though, is a cold Christmas indeed.
