I’m Officially Predicting A White Christmas In Minnesota

Call it women's intuition, but I am officially predicting that we are going to have a white Christmas in Minnesota in 2025.

I MAY NOT BE A SMART MAN 

Now, you need to understand that I am not a meteorologist so you'll have to take this prediction with a grain of salt. I tried taking a meteorology class at St. Cloud State University, figuring it would be an easy elective, but I dropped after the first class when the professor announced that it's 'not rocket science... it's actually much, much harder.'

You might be wondering where this prediction is coming from, especially based on my distinct lack of education in the field. That's a fair question.

WILL MINNESOTA HAVE A WHITE CHRISTMAS IN 2025?

I think it was somewhere in between the fourth and fifth time I shoveled my driveway on Tuesday night that the thought of a white Christmas first crossed my mind. When I looked over into my yard and realized our Christmas inflatables have been sentenced to a season under a foot of snow (and may never inflate again), I thought 'hmm, this snow might actually stick around!'

I became confident in my prediction when the good old snowplow guy dumped six inches of hard-packed snow on my driveway at 4 a.m. on Wednesday and my back nearly broke trying to scoop it over the giant ridges of snow already straddling my driveway.

Yep, I think this snow is (probably) here to stay. Almost certainly.

As someone with Italian relatives I am aware that there is a chance I might be jinxing our chances of a white Christmas, but I am going to stand strong with this bold prediction.
