Fifteen years ago, north Alabama residents who dreamed of a white Christmas saw their wish come true: A rare snow fell on Dec. 25, 2010, marking the first white Christmas in the area since 1989.
As much as 6.5 inches of snow fell in Huntsville in 2010, while other north Alabama cities saw 3 to 4 inches, according to the National Weather Service.
The weather event began with an “upper-level disturbance,” which is weatherperson code for “it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas.”
