Will the Hudson Valley Get a White Christmas This Year?

Here in the Hudson Valley we started December off with a taste of winter weather. A brief snow storm blanketed the region with few inches of snow across different towns in the area.

Will the snow stick around for the holiday? Can we expect a White Christmas this year in the Hudson Valley?

The Odds of a White Christmas in the Hudson Valley in 2025

According to the Old Farmers Almanac...quite possibly.

While the map looks promising a more in-depth breakdown from the Old Farmers Almanac explains the likelihood of a White Christmas.

The Old Farmers Almanac writes:

Around upstate New York and western New England, it’s just over a 50-50 shot. Cleveland’s odds are 1 in 3, and Chicago’s only 2 in 5 for Christmas Day.

I'll take those odds! The last time the Hudson Valley had snow on Christmas was back in 2017. There was also snow in 2008 and 2009 right around Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

 

Don't Get Confused, The Old Farmers Almanac Is Here to Stay

You might be asking yourself "Wait. Isn't the Old Farmers Almanac done?" The answer is no, but The Farmers Almanac is.

Back in November 2025, The Farmers Almanac announced that after 208 years they would stop publication.

Farmer's Almanac Editor Sandi Duncan said in a statement obtained by the Associated Press, "It is with a heavy heart that we share the end of what has not only been an annual tradition in millions of homes and hearths for hundreds of years, but also a way of life, an inspiration for many who realize the wisdom of generations past is the key to the generations of the future."

The publication went on to share that "growing financial challenges of producing and distributing the book" as well as a "chaotic media environment" played a part in the publications demise.
