   I would say there is actually a better than average chance of a mountain White Christmas this year. Granted a forecast 200 plus hours out is tricky, here are the facts. One, we’re in a cold pattern. Second, the southern storm track has been very active in recent weeks. Three, the long range models continue to show a winter weather system developing and approaching NC around Christmas. Granted, I would not go on TV this far out and lock in snow for Christmas but I do think there’s a decent chance! We’ll know in about 9 days!

   huh, go back to the tape. Boyer, on the 6 p.m. newscast, absolutely did not say he could not predict that far out.

   What he said was there’s very little chance of us having a white Christmas.

   Correction: Not taking up for Jason Boyer, but that is absolutely not what he said. He said he was not going to predict that far out yet.
