In Kansas, the probabilities are highest in the north along the Nebraska border, and lowest in the southeast. The highest probability in the state is in Mankato, in Jewell County, with a 33% chance of a white Christmas. Table 1 lists the probabilities of a white Christmas at selected locations around Kansas. The table also includes information such as the most recent white Christmas, average snowfall, and record temperatures for Christmas Day.
The most recent white Christmas in Kansas was in 2017. Much of northern Kansas received 1-2 inches of snow on the 23rd and 24th which was still on the ground Christmas morning. Prior to 2017, most of Kansas had a white Christmas in 2013, after a heavy snow event on the 21st. Cold air behind the storm system preserved the snow cover through Christmas morning.
The average snowfall across Kansas for the month of December ranges from 2 to 5 inches. Much like the probabilities, the higher December averages are in northern Kansas. While every year is different, on average, we expect to receive some snow each December. The only question is when will it happen? Will we get snow just in time for Christmas?

Weather outlook for Christmas week
The current outlook for Christmas week has high probabilities of below-normal temperatures (Figure 2) statewide with near-normal precipitation across most of the state (Figure 3). Temperatures will be cold enough for snow should this forecast verify, and near normal precipitation suggests what falls is likely to be snow. But it’s hard to pin down an exact location and timing for precipitation over a week before Christmas. Keep an eye to the sky and an ear to the forecast as the 25th approaches, and maybe, just maybe, some Kansans will have some snow on Christmas morning.
