Did you know that the NOAA has an official definition for a “white Christmas”, and that it’s incredibly nitpicky?
A white Christmas is officially defined as having at least 1 inch of snow on the ground at 7 am local time Christmas Day.
If that strikes you as a bit ridiculous, know that you’re not alone. And if Mother Nature drops a foot of powder on December 25, but doesn’t get started until 7:01 AM, we’re all still going to call it a white Christmas. The NOAA can just pound snow.
