How do you personally define the term "White Christmas"?

What's your personal definition of a white Christmas? Does it actually have to be snowing or does snow on the ground count? How much snow on the ground?

I agree but here in Vancouver we tend not to get all that much snow despite being in Canada so we sorta cheat with the definition and I think a lot of people here feel like it's a white Christmas with even a tinny bit of snow on the ground.

It's one of those weird terms that make no sense so I've never thought about it.

enough snow that the ground is covered and you cant really see the grass any more. preferably close to christmas so the trees still have some on them as well.

The reporters on the radio call it a white christmas if there are a couple of snowflakes falling somewhere in the area. Radio guys are never wrong. Ha.

lots of snow. 6"-12" preferably.

a couple of feet wouldn't be bad either as long as the roads were plowed.
