First White Christmas for Copenhagen in 14 years, as leaders battle warming

Posted by Editor | (1) Comment

Bloomberg reports today that Copehagen will likely have a White Christmas, which is defined as “90 percent of the country being covered by at least 2 centimeters of snow on the afternoon of December 24.”

World leaders flying into Copenhagen today to discuss a solution to global warming will first face freezing weather as a blizzard dumped 10 centimeters (4 inches) of snow on the Danish capital overnight.

Denmark has a maritime climate and milder winters than its Scandinavian neighbors. It hasn’t had a white Christmas for 14 years, under the DMI’s definition, and only had seven last century. Temperatures today fell as low as minus 4 Celsius (25 Fahrenheit).
