It won’t be quite as cold Christmas morning as it was early Tuesday. Clouds follow Santa into Indiana overnight and early Wednesday. Snow showers and/or flurries are likely Christmas Day, but just from Indy northward. My 953MNC listeners in Michiana could get an inch or two. If you count a “White Christmas” as any day that has EITHER at least a trace of snow falling that day…or already on the ground that morning… then the odds of it around here are about 60 percent. Last year, for example, Indy did have a little snow on the ground. The biggest amount of Christmas Day snow on the ground was Christmas morning, 2004. Nine inches was reported. The biggest amount of snow FALLING on Christmas Day was 5.9 inches in 1909. The warmest Christmas day ever was 64, in 1893. The coldest was -4, during that brutal December in 1983. I remember having to work the morning show that week at WNDE radio and parking outside at the apartment complex we lived in. All I wanted for Christmas that year was a garage. That’s all for awhile, unless my weather radio goes off. You can always get updated temps and radar here. The full Paul Poteet Infrastructure will be operational again Thursday. Til then: MERRY CHRISTMAS from the Poteets! ]]>
