Dreaming of a White Christmas?

The idea of a white Christmas is as much a part of the mythological fabric of the holiday season as reindeer and decorated trees. However, the reality is that most Americans are only slightly more likely to see snow than the former, and are far less likely to see snow than the latter.

Nonetheless, the possibility of snow on Christmas has enough implications for travel, vacation-planning and even sales numbers (though which way the correlation works is not necessarily clear...) that we thought it might be of interest to our readers.
