Mon Dec 23 12:20:00 UTC 2024: ## Light Snow Expected in Massachusetts on Christmas Eve, No White Christmas Predicted

**BOSTON, MA** – Massachusetts residents should brace for a chilly Christmas Eve with light snowfall, according to StormTeam 5 meteorologist Kelly Ann Cicalese. While some snow is expected, it’s unlikely to meet the criteria for a White Christmas.

Snow is forecast to begin falling overnight in Northern New England, reaching the Greater Boston area early Tuesday morning. Accumulation will be more widespread by mid-morning, with central and western Massachusetts seeing snow as early as 7 a.m., and Boston experiencing snowfall around 9 a.m. or 10 a.m. The snow is expected to taper off by mid-afternoon.

Most of the state is predicted to receive between a coating and two inches of snow, with areas further north potentially seeing 2 to 4 inches. However, this is not expected to result in a White Christmas, defined as at least one inch of snow on the ground by 7 a.m. on Christmas Day. The last time Boston had a White Christmas was in 2009. Residents are advised to check local forecasts for the latest updates.
