Excitement across Wyoming and our nation continues to grow as Christmas quickly approaches. What are your chances for the desired "White Christmas?" The National Climatic Data Center has created a probability graphic of having a 1" snow depth on Christmas using data between 1981 and 2010 (image on the left). The National Operational Hydrologic Remote Sensing Center estimates snow depth across the entire U.S. every day through many different data sources. The image on the right shows the approximate locations where snow is located across Wyoming. Click on either image to enlarge them.
