What are the chances of a white Christmas where you live? Map shows likelihood of snow.

TL;DR

Best chances for a white Christmas are in northern Wisconsin, Minnesota, North Dakota, the northern Great Lakes, the Adirondacks, northern New England, and northern Maine.
A white Christmas is defined as at least 1 inch of snow on the ground on the morning of December 25th.
A substantial ridge of high pressure will bring above-normal temperatures to the southern central Plains, affecting weather patterns into next week.
Temperatures will be well above normal into Minnesota and the Dakotas, but existing snowpack may persist in northern latitudes.
Chances for a white Christmas decrease significantly the farther west and south one goes, especially south of I-80.
The Northeast is expected to remain near normal, avoiding the worst of the warm ridge.
As of Friday, only about 22% of the Lower 48 states were covered by snow.
Historically, Minneapolis-St. Paul has a high chance (74%) of a white Christmas.
Other northern cities have lower historical odds, such as Cleveland (39%), Detroit (35%), Chicago (34%), Indianapolis (26%), and New York City (13%).
Southern states have the lowest likelihood, with chances degrading significantly south of I-80, except possibly in the highest elevations of the Appalachian Mountains.
