There was enough snow on the ground to be considered "white" 14 times or 28% of the time. Amazingly White Christmas's happened once in the 1970s(1971), 4 times in the 1980s (1983,1983,1987,1988) although there were just enough to make the ground white in those years.

Dreaming of a White Christmas? So how often do you think there was enough snow on the ground in Shawnigan for it to be a White Christmas? People often say they remember that it was often snowy at Christmas.... What do the facts say for the last 50 years?
