Two freshmen at Plymouth High School work as weather forecasters to say whether or not they think we will have a white Christmas. Kane Young forecasts a White Christmas, while Jessica Baca disagrees:
| White Christmas? Yes, there will be snow! | White Christmas? No, there will not be snow! |
| Freshman Kane Young believes that we will have a white Christmas, “because that’s what I asked for for Christmas.” A white Christmas is important to Kane because “it makes me feel special.”
He likes the feeling of snow. It brings his family together, and gives him good family time. His favorite part about snow is that he gets to make sculptures like snowmen, castles, forts, and more. The thing he does not like about the snow is that it gets in his boots and freezes, and is really cold.

Freshman Jessica Baca believes that we won’t have a white Christmas “because the weather has been warmer lately and it’s going to take a while for it to get colder. Maybe after Christmas, but not the day.” This year’s hope for a white Christmas is important to Jessica because it “symbolizes Christmas.” She enjoys going outside to play in the snow, and throwing snowballs.
Baca’s favorite part about the snow is the weather it brings with it. Baca thinks an advantage for snow is that she gets to run around and play in it, while the con is that she can not go outside much because it is too cold. |
People in a younger age group wish for white Christmas more than older people do. According to Weather.com, from ages 18 to 34, 80 percent say they want a White Christmas, while ages 65 and up, only 47 percent want a white Christmas. Older people do not want to shovel snow on Christmas.
