While most Chicago-area residents will be paying attention to forecasts of snow and travel hazards later this week, the Christmas Day outlook could call for one of the coldest holidays on record in the city.
It would match the 9-degree temperature recorded on Christmas Day in 1996.
For those more interested in the snow, it will in all likelihood be the first white Christmas in the city of Chicago since 2017, according to forecast models. According to the National Weather Service, Chicago has only gotten white Christmases, defined as having at least one inch of snow on the ground, around 41% of the time since 1871.
