Unsurprisingly the farther north you go, the better chance you have at seeing snow.

The Dakotas, Minnesota, Wisconsin and most of Michigan have the best shot at seeing a white Christmas this year.

Northwestern Nebraska, northern Iowa, parts of Illinois, including Chicago, and northern Indiana also have the best chance of having more than an inch of snow on the ground to make it an official white Christmas.
