Typically, a white Christmas is not something we see here in Philadelphia or much of the Delaware Valley. The exception to that would be the northern edge of the Lehigh Valley in the Poconos, which obviously has a much better chance of snow any time during the winter season.

To fit the National Weather Service's definition of white Christmas, there needs to be at least 1 inch of snow on the ground. Even a quick little coating or a trace doesn't technically count.

Winter officially begins on Saturday with the first official full day of winter on Sunday. This comes on the heels of some truly cold air filtering this weekend. Highs by Sunday may not get out of the 20s.
