Now there is one rule of thumb that the Farmers Almanac always follows when it comes to determining a white Christmas, and that is at least 1 inch of snow must fall to officially call it a white Christmas. Thanks to the Farmers Almanac, we can track the history of snow in Connecticut over three decades, and according to the Almanac, the last time we saw a white Christmas in Connecticut was back in 2017 when light rain turned to snow late on Christmas Eve, and continued to snow into Christmas Day. So what are the chances of having a white Christmas in Greater Danbury this year? To answer that question, you have to look at the history of snow on Christmas in Connecticut. The white Christmas image was also romanticized in the 1942 song "White Christmas" by Bing Crosby, which went on to become one of the best selling singles of all time. Our fascination with a white Christmas goes all the way back to the mid 1800's and the writings of Charles Dickens and his depiction of a snowy Christmas in his classic tale, "A Christmas Carol".
