Ein Chart, das für jedes Jahr zwischen 1961 und 2022 die Standorte der Wetterstationen, an denen zwischen 24.12. und 26.12. eine Schneehöhe > 0 cm gemessen wurde, auf einer Deutschlandkarte zeigt. In den 1960er Jahren gab es in 8 von 10 Jahren in mindestens der halben Fläche Deutschlands Schnee, in den 1970ern in 4 Jahren, in den 1980ern in 4 Jahren, in den 1990ern an 7 Jahren, in den 2000ern in 5 Jahren, in den 2010ern in keinem Jahr.
