White Christmas
« on: December 22, 2012, 03:06:22 PM »
For those of you celebrating Christmas and living in colder climates are you hoping for a white Christmas? In warmer climates you don't have the expectation which I know from living in Florida for a few years. As a native New Englander living back here it is always a hope to make the holidays more like you expect and is a bit nostalgic. What do you think?

Lol.... No chance of snow here, 39 Celsius or 102 Fahrenheit.

Would be nice to experience snow on Christmas though.

Love snow doesn't appear it is going to happen.

I'd love it but it looks like a no show here. Blizzard conditions two hours or so west of here but just a few flurries here.

It is suppose to snow the day after Christmas.  Go figure!  I Have 10 Grandkids wanting snow!  I would love to be snowed in for a day just so my life will slow down just a bit!

Snow is a four letter word.

Snow.

Hmmm, snow.

The concept is vaguely familiar...

In my part of New England, we got three feet of snow followed a few days later by several inches of rain :-p Made moving all the snow quite the chore!

It is forecast to rain here.  Rarely have snow for Christmas, or any day of the year.

Had enough snow when we lived in Alaska.  Don't need it now.  You don't have to shovel rain.

On Wednesday night, going into Thursday we got about 3' of snow. I had to call into work because the county road wasn't plowed yet. Their response was "there is only a dusting of snow here". I live about an hour north of where I work and this happens all the time. The last few days it has been warmer and raining but we got another few inches last night so it does look like we'll have a white Christmas.

Rain >:(  But, as I've been reminded many times, one of the extremely rare White Christmas Days in New Orleans was 2004, and pre-saged Katrina.   If that's the penalty or price of a White Christmas--I'll take rain.  Not much snow ever here--but when it comes we get drifts up to two to three inches ;).   It's snowed once since 2004, but not on Christmas.

WellI'll be darned. The forecast here has changed and we will probably get a couple of inches of snow tomorrow evening.

Woke up today (Christmas eve) to about a foot of snow.  There was nothing when I came home at 11pm last night.  It hasn't stopped snowing yet, so I'd say it's a safe bet we'll be having a white Christmas :0(.
