White Christmas?

A rare Christmas day snowfall brought accumulations of about 1/2" to parts of the Birmingham area in 2010, although no accumulation was officially reported at the Birmingham-Shuttlesworth International Airport.

Prior to that, no measurable snow accumulation had ever occurred on December 24 or 25 in Birmingham. There were some flurries and light dusting in 1985, and even lighter flurries in 1961, 1963, 1966, 1980, 1989, 1990, 1993 and 1995. The nearest major snowfall was the one on December 22, 1929 which left some snow still on the ground on Christmas Eve. Christmas Day's high of 51° F melted the rest of it off.
