I'm Dreaming of a 4.9999

Here's a map that reveals your odds of a White Christmas. But what does that mean? Seems to us that the phrase White Christmas is somewhat vague. Top Men at Wohba would like to announce the Wohbawhite Scale providing a standardized metric for use with the phrase White Christmas.

1. Old, used snow on ground on Christmas Eve. No additional accumulation on Christmas morning.


2. Fresh snow on ground on Christmas Eve. No additional accumulation on Christmas morning.


3. Some snow on ground on Christmas Eve. Additional accumulation on Christmas morning.


4. No snow on ground Christmas Eve. (Ideally starts snowing at bedtime Christmas Eve.) Additional accumulation on Christmas morning.

* Decimals are added to indicate total snow on the ground (in inches) Christmas morning. (Any accumulations of 10 inches or more are simply recorded as .999999)

Example 1:
4 inches of old snow on the ground Christmas morning. 1.4 ww scale.
Example 2:
1.5 inches of snow on ground - 6 inches new snow Christmas morning. 3.75 ww scale.
Example 3:
No snow on ground - 3 inches new snow Christmas morning. 4.3 ww scale.
Example 4:
3.75 inches fresh snow on ground - no new snow Christmas morning. 2.375 ww scale.
