White Christmas

[seekermeister]

It looks like I won't have to dream of a white Christmas this year. I have had my head stuck in the computer so long, I was surprised a bit ago to look outside and see the ground covered with snow. It's not very thick, but it's still snowing lightly. The first snow of the year, and on Christmas Eve...kind of poetic.

Same here. First snow of the year and on Christmas eve. Santa will be coming for sure tonight.

The only White Christmas I've ever experienced was in Korea in 1972 when I was stationed there while in the army. We never have snow for Christmas in Calif!

I can't recall the exact year, but the last Christmas that I remember was in the 70s. That was here also, but I was living in Texas and came home for Christmas. However, there had been an ice/snowstorm before I arrived that had done some major damage around the city. The taxi that I took from the airport couldn't make it all the way to my home, because it just kept slipping and sliding when he turned into my neighborhood. I'm not sure if I ever experienced a white Christmas before that.

The only white Christmas I've seen in the 35 years that I've been in South Carolina was in 1989, the same year (in August) that hurricane Hugo made landfall here.

It's been snowing here since the 18th. The thrill has wore off.

I'm just kidding. You can never get enough of that white powdery stuff..

Well we had a thunder and lightening storm around teatime with lashings of rain, in fact you think it's stopped and suddenly of it goes again, what an ending to Christmas day

 

[seekermeister]

We are only 31 degrees, so even though the snow isn't thick, it is sticking for now. NWS says that we are supposed to be partly cloudy skies, but I haven't seen a single cloud. With the sun bouncing off the snow, it's quite a bright and cheerful day here.

I have no idea of where this picture was taken, but take a look at it and it might make you feel better about your weather:

You guys can have some of ours... we have over 20" and some 5-10ft drifts here in Nebraska....

 

[seekermeister]

Hmm, I wonder if that is where that picture was taken? Those appear to be pine trees, do you have any of those in Nebraska?

It doesn't snow where I live but my cousin got good snow.
