Saskatchewan sent 38 athletes, coaches and mission staff to Paris.
While Bing Crosby dreamed of one, Saskatoon can definitively say they’ll get a ‘White Christmas’ in 2019.
Environment Canada released its latest snow cover models on Wednesday, attached with the probability of a white Christmas for each major city across the prairies.
Those models show a 100 per cent chance of Saskatoon maintaining snow cover of two centimetres or more on December 25.
Who will have a white Christmas this year? ❄️ ☃️
A blanket of snow covers much of Saskatchewan, some places thicker than others. Here is a map of the model probability of at least 2 cm on the ground on Dec 25! #skstorm #skwx #whitechristmas #yxewx #yqrwx #snow pic.twitter.com/5dZqPeUY7n— ECCC Weather Saskatchewan (@ECCCWeatherSK) December 18, 2019
The forecast does have the possibility of some snow melting on Friday, with a sunny day and projected high of 1 C. However, light flurries are expected to replenish any lost snow before the big holiday.
People living in southern Saskatchewan cities who want a white Christmas will hope to beat the Environment Canada odds. Regina has just a 30 per cent chance of having two centimetres on the ground, while Swift Current has just a 10 per cent chance.
Kindersley comes in at 60 per cent, Weyburn at 40 per cent and Cypress Hills at 80 per cent chance of a white Christmas.
