The train decorated with Christmas lights offers a breathtaking spectacle

The ‘Christmas Train of Lights’ was spotted chugging along the south of England on Monday evening, November 25th, presenting a dramatic sight to passers-by.

If you dream of a white Christmas, the chances of it snowing in these North American cities are much higher.

According to the Farmers’ Almanac, it is only an official white Christmas if there is an inch or more of snow on the ground on Christmas morning.

Meteorologists with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration study snow patterns over a 30-year period to determine which locations are almost guaranteed to get snow on Christmas.

Due to climate change, the map has shifted slightly north, but there are still many places where snow is likely. Here are 10 of them:

Fairbanks, Alaska

According to the almanac, Fairbanks averages only about 11 inches of snow in December, but since the average temperature there in December is -6.8 degrees, all of the snow stays on the ground. Fairbanks has recorded just one Christmas without snow since 1934.

Mammoth Lakes, California

This mountain town in northern California’s Sierra Nevada sits 8,000 feet above sea level and averages more than 45 inches of snowfall in December.

Telluride, Colorado

This ski mecca is the southernmost city on the list, but since it’s located in the San Juan Mountains in the southern Rockies, there’s a 94 percent chance of a white Christmas, the almanac says.

Duluth, Minnesota

Duluth, Minnesota, nicknamed the “Christmas City of the North,” has a 92% chance of a white Christmas and a nearly 60% chance of at least 5 inches of snow falling.

Marquette, Mich

Marquette, Michigan, is one of the snowiest places in America, with about 200 inches of snow per year and 40 inches in December alone. It lies in a region known as the Upper Peninsula Snow Belt on the south shore of Lake Superior.

Marquette has a 96% chance of having a white Christmas.

Lake Placid, New York

The Great Lakes region is experiencing heavy snowfall

A historic winter storm fueled by heavy lake snow has paralyzed parts of western and northern New York. FOX’s LiveNOW host Stephanie Coueignoux spoke with Elizabeth Carey, public relations director for AAA, about how the snow has impacted her area in Buffalo.

Nine out of ten Christmases were white in Lake Placid, New York.

Located in the Adirondack Mountains of northern New York State, it is blanketed in snow-like snow from the Great Lakes.

Caribou, Maine

Caribou, Maine, is one of the northernmost cities in the United States and has a 92 percent chance of a white Christmas.

Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada

If you’re ready to leave the United States, Winnipeg, the capital of Manitoba, Canada, has only had one snowless Christmas since 1955.

Goose Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada

Goose Bay, a city in eastern Canada, averages nearly 30 inches of snow in December. According to the almanac, 98% of Christmases in Goose Bay between 1955 and 2019 were white. Plus, there’s a 53 percent chance of a “perfect Christmas” when there’s snow on the ground and falling in the air.

Prince George, British Columbia, Canada

Located in northern British Columbia, Canada, this city is close to several mountains and is known as the “northern capital” of BC.

There is an average of 5.5 inches of snow on the ground each Christmas morning.
