Daily News | Philly’s White Christmas prospects: Is this the year the drought ends?
But it has happened, most recently in 2009, when better than two feet of snow fell atop the region during a solstice mega-storm. A foot accumulated on Dec. 24-25, 1966.
In addition, a frisky storm traffic is forecast to develop from the moisture-rich Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Coast, suggesting the potential for more nor’easters. Some of them stay too far offshore or too far south to affect Philly. When they come closer, almost anything can happen.Winds circulate counterclockwise around centers of storms, and as coastal storms migrate northward, areas to the north and west of the center can experience strong, moisture-laden winds off the ocean. That can shake the snows from the skies, but cyclones that travel closer to the land are prone to throw mixed precipitation or rain back upon Philly.
It got a cosmic jolt from a poem — which had disputed authorship but was credited to a professor named Clement Clarke Moore — that conjoined snow and Christmas.Embellishing the Dutch tradition of St. Nicholas’ delivering gifts on his Dec. 6 feast day, the writer added reindeer and a sleigh, which, of course, would require a friction-free frozen surface.
