NEW YORK – It’s almost certain that people in the Upper Midwest, northern Great Lakes and interior Northeast will experience a white Christmas.

Just days after a strong clipper and coastal depression brought several inches of snow from the Upper Midwest to the Northeast, another snow-making system moved through similar areas in the run-up to Christmas.

Millions of people up and down the I-95 corridor woke up Tuesday morning to the perfect, atmospheric Christmas snow.

Significant snowfall was expected in northern New England and especially Maine, with more than 6 inches falling in some places. Further south, from approximately Boston down to Philadelphia, a period of light snow passed through ahead of the storm’s cold front.

Winds were expected to remain light as the snow fell, making for a picturesque scene for those outside.

Although some roads may become slippery, overall it should not have a major impact on travel unless the roads are not pretreated, according to the FOX Forecast Center.

With temperatures expected to remain around 30°C on Christmas Eve and around 20°C on Christmas night, the chance of the snow melting is very limited.

From Delaware to Maryland to Northern Virginia, ice was a problem Tuesday morning with only a glass expected. The threat ended when temperatures rose above freezing during the day.
