Boston has only a 1% chance of snow accumulation on Christmas morning, with rain more likely due to warmer temperatures and limited moisture.
Northern New England, including areas of Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine, has a higher likelihood of snow, with some regions holding a 75-80% chance of meeting the criteria for a white Christmas.
