I can’t remember the last time it was a white x-mas, but the chances are looking pretty good where I’m gonna be for the holidays: Kentucky. ---

Not a chance, unless we get some unexpected snow in the next day or two. The forcast in Edmonton is for clear sunny skies, and highs around -4 C. ---

Definitely cold enough here in Chicago, but there’s no snow on the ground now, and no predictions for snow over the next few days. So I guess that’s a long way of saying “No.” ---

Technically, yes. Here in St. Paul, we’ve got about half an inch of snow left on the ground, which means you can see grass through it. ---

In Tampa Florida? I highly doubt it. I think some nearby towns may be having a white supremist christmas though! [sub]I just can’t resist florida humor[/sub] ---

Nope, cold and wet forecast same as last year. ---

Yes…snow in the forecast as usual. We will be heading west to St. Louis tomorrow morning. We usually take I-64 thru Kentucky, but when it snows…forget it – all hell breaks loose on that damn interstate. We’ll be traveling I-70 tomorrow instead. ---

Ironically enough Iceland hasn’t seen a white Christmas for something like four years going, and this year doesn’t look to be any different. It’s not fair. ---

Highly doubtful. That’s fine with me though, as I have to work on Christmas and I’m terrified of Southern drivers on snow. We are getting some hail right now, though. ---

We’re supposed to get about 8 inches of snow, staring late on Christmas eve. ---

It started snowing this morning here in Stillwater. Big, fat, wet flakes that piled up fast. It’s just now slacking off. It’s beautiful out there, but whether it will be around tomorrow or the next, it’s hard to say ---

They are predicting snow here in PA and it will probably cause me all kinds of problems on my drive… ---

I understand it snowed in Los Angeles abt 55 years ago. I have no clue if it was near Christmas or not. I’ve never known it to snow here during my life time and it doesn’t look to change that this year… much to my disappointment. I totally love snow!!! ---

Oh hell yes. White stuff all over the place. It’s freaking **cold** , too. What happened to Oslo’s usual December weather, that’s what I wanna know. ---

It’s close to 80F here in Jax, and I think we’re supposed to be in the 60s on Wednesday. So, nope, no snow. ---

We have + temps here which is great, but no snow at all which kind of sucks. White Christmases are the best. ---
