Snow On Christmas Eve: Here Is How Much Snow Will Stick In CT

Merry Christmas via Mother Nature as Connecticut will see snowflakes on Christmas Eve, which might accumulate slightly and give us a festive look but also won't impact our travel plans significantly. Essentially it's the best of both worlds.

The entire state will see snowflakes after midnight and through early Christmas Eve morning. About a half to one inch of snow is expected to accumulate and it will likely all melt quickly as temps will rise into the low 40s on Monday afternoon.

So we may not see a White Christmas but Connecticut will see some snow on Christmas Eve. Christmas Day looks sunny with temps only in the mid 30s.

Our next chance for wintry weather is Thursday night before it turns to another rainstorm on Friday with temps soaring into the 50s. (To sign up for free, local breaking news alerts and a morning newsletter from more than 100 Connecticut communities, click here.)
