Fewer white Christmases were experienced after 1752 because the calendar was changed from the Julian to the Gregorian in 1752 in the UK, thus effectively shifting Christmas 11 days earlier. The change had taken place in much of Europe well over a hundred years earlier, but did not take place in Russia until after the Revolution, in about 1920, so by that time the shift was 15 days.
