Cincinnati Faces Third Snowless Christmas

For the third year running, residents of Cincinnati will awaken on Christmas Day to a landscape devoid of snow. Unseasonably warm temperatures, expected to reach the 50s, will prevail on Thursday, accompanied by a likelihood of rain showers throughout the week. This warm spell means those hoping for a picturesque 'White Christmas' will be disappointed, a stark contrast to recent history.

Just two years ago, in 2022, the Greater Cincinnati area experienced a dramatic shift in weather. Leading up to Christmas, the region was hit by blizzard conditions, characterized by sustained snow, wind gusts exceeding 35 miles per hour, and visibility reduced to a quarter-mile. This severe weather event was the first blizzard to hit Cincinnati since 1978.
