From Meteorologist Brian Davis:
The December the 25th Christmas storm was amazing as some areas reported unofficially as much as 14 inches in parts of northwest Alabama. Last year's snow event was the largest white Christmas since 1963. I am sure this will raise the question as to whether there will be a white Christmas this year. Interesting enough, there is a system that will be coming through the Tennessee Valley, but chances look slim. With that being said, anytime models indicate a system this far out, the situation can change. There is absolutely no way to say for sure this far away, but when I put over 30 years of living in the Tennessee Valley with what I am seeing on the long range forecasts, It does tend to raise the probability over the normal background noise of statistics for a White Christmas and that would be all I would say about it for now being this far away. In the meantime, let's reflect on last years Christmas Snow event. Here are some pictures I archived from all over the area on the 25th of 2010:
