Are You Dreaming of a White Christmas?

Many people in Central Illinois are doing just that…one inch or more of snow in the Peoria/Morton area would (by definition) indicate a white Christmas.  Snowfall is always difficult to measure with two nearby sites having different, measurable results because of sunlight and wind.

Generally speaking, the odds of our area having a white Christmas are about 20-40 percent.  If you want to increase those odds, then travel to Chicago for the holiday where the odds increase to nearly 50-50.  The whitest Christmas Day in Illinois history was 1951 (ask your grandparents).  There was 31 inches of snow north of us in suburban Aurora!

Whatever the meteorologists have in store for us is not nearly as important as who we spend it with.  We at family-owned Dave Bailey Plumbing in Morton, Illinois hope that you and yours will gather together for the most rewarding Christmas season you have ever experienced.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Dave Bailey Plumbing of Morton.
