PHILADELPHIA - If you were dreaming of waking up to a white Christmas in the Philadelphia area this year? The Farmer's Almanac says to keep dreaming!
Local perspective:
The Old Farmer’s Almanac has released its highly anticipated 2026 White Christmas Forecast, and the outlook for Philadelphia is decidedly green.
The entire Atlantic Corridor, a region stretching along the East Coast that includes the Philadelphia metro area, is firmly predicted to experience "Not a White Christmas" this year.
To officially qualify as a White Christmas, the National Weather Service requires at least one inch of snow on the ground on Christmas morning.
Big picture view:
While the broader Northeast region further up the map is expected to see a festive dusting, Philly residents will likely be navigating dry sidewalks in Center City as families across the region make their way to Christmas gatherings on clear roads.
