What Are the Chances We See Snow in Southern Idaho the First Week of December

If you still think it’s too early to get ready for Christmas, get ready for this. Christmas is less than a month away, and we could be getting our first snowfall of the season in just a few days.

So, if you didn’t use the last few weekends of nice weather to set up your outdoor decorations and lights, it might be too late.

New Forecast Shows a Chance of Snow the First Week of December in Southern Idaho

You could use this weekend, after Thanksgiving, to get outside and decorate, but it is going to be a lot colder than previous weekends. The forecasted high on Saturday is a cloudy 43 degrees, and Sunday will only get up to 40 degrees. Both nights have low temps in the 20s.

Monday starts up December and will give you a chance to decorate in the sun, but Tuesday is when Mother Nature takes over. There’s a chance of rain and snow on Tuesday.

The extended forecast into December shows more snow on the 8th and 9th with highs in the mid-40s across the board. The forecast doesn’t extend all the way to Christmas yet, but the Old Farmer’s Almanac says a White Christmas is probably not in our future.

Based on the information in the gallery below, Twin Falls usually gets snowfall on November 14th or 15th. That didn’t happen this year. But all hope is not lost for a white winter in Idaho.

The Farmer’s Almanac (not to be confused with the Old Farmer’s Almanac) says Idaho specifically should expect a cold winter. That’s not a guarantee of snow, but cold weather is better for snow than a warm forecast, and the mountains in Idaho are ‘gearing up for some impressive snowfall totals.’
