If you’re dreaming of a white Christmas, you’re going to be disappointed on Thursday.

You won’t see much snow on the ground in Orleans County. Most of what we had from about a week ago has melted.

The high for Christmas will be 37 degrees. That is quite the contrast from three years ago when a blizzard Orleans County on Dec. 23, 2022. That storm claimed the lives of about 50 people in Western New York.

On Friday, we could get some snow, possibly 2 to 4 inches with a high near 27.

The highs then include 32 on Saturday and 41 on Sunday, according to the National Weather Service in Buffalo.
