According to the Old Farmer's Almanac's extended forecast, Michigan will not see a white Christmas this year. But weather experts say residents shouldn't give up all hope that they won't be able to build a snowman for the holiday.

Based on NOAA historical weather data, the probability of a white Christmas is almost certain in Michigan. The Old Farmer's Almanac recognizes that when you look at weather history ' Michigan can practically guarantee a blanket of snow on Christmas Day since snow begins falling earlier in the month and these northern areas have freezing temperatures to avoid snow melt.'
