White Christmas?

Not in the Bay Area, though a week ago we got some snow on the tops of the mountains. My kids in the East got snowed on before they came out here, though.

My sister and I livein the same town in Colorado where they were supposed to get 10" this week. I don’t know if they did because I came out to visit my parents at the beach in California. I avoid white Christmases like the plauge. Funny thing my parents went out to visit my sister and had to get a hotel due to white out conditions on their drive. I plan on climbing a mountain Christmas day in shorts and a t-shirt.

They’re estimating anywhere from 6 to 20 inches for much of Minnesota by Saturday night.

Bah-effing-humbug. I hate the damned stuff.

They seriously don’t know. The prediction changes every single day. Now it’s a chance of “mixed precipitation” (which can mean anything), but not snow, that’s going to miss us. I just hope it doesn’t include freezing rain, I’m the designated driver on Christmas this year.

Forecast to be raining in Toronto on Christmas Day. We often have snow for Christmas, but it’s not exactly weird to have none, either. There’s no snow to be found in the downtown areas, but there is a little in areas outside the core that remains from piles cleared off of roads.

I imagine Buffalo has quite a bit. And since it’ll be down near freezing for us, it’ll likely be prime snow weather down south.

Christmas Eve, Oslo. We’ve had a little snow on the ground for a bit over a week now, and it’s finally snowing properly.

Snow is so beautiful when you know you’ll be staying home all day.

I think glistening treetops are involved too.

A high of only 72°F tomorrow in Northeast Florida.

Brrrrr, where’s my mittens!?!

It’s unusual for me, but I think it isn’t as unusual for Scotland, I just happen to have spent most of my life in places where snow was either “something you see in movies” or “something you get at the mountains.”

I’ve just gone outside to take pictures of the so-nicknamed Radioactive Lake, it’s frozen. You can see tracks where the fowl have walked on the snow that’s fallen on the ice (we have geese, mandarin ducks and swans).

Currently it snowed about two inches last evening before the liquid stuff started. Now it’s wet crusty snow on everything. We kept having power glitches early this morning.

There’s three or four inches on the ground in Nortern France, but it’s in retreat at the moment.

We’ve only got about six to eight inches on the ground right now – it’s gotten off to a very slow year, snow-wise. But yeah, we’ve got snow. We could use a lot more of it, though!

The weirdest white Christmas I ever saw was in New Orleans a few years ago – 2004? It was sleeting on Christmas Day and it turned to snow, about a quarter inch or so in the end. It was the first white Christmas there in fifty years, they said!

We have a couple feet on the ground, and more coming. But I live in one of the 5 places in the continental US with a 100% chance of snow on Christmas, so it’s no big deal. I’ve never seen a Christmas without snow up here.

I get a windy rainy Christmas.

That’s fine with me, as long as I can stay home and drink cocoa. :slight_smile:

Virginia gets relatively little snow, and white Christmases are uncommon here. But we’ve got one this year thanks to the record-breaking monster blizzard (18-20 inches) on Saturday, which hasn’t melted yet.

Looks like we’ll get a White Christmas here in Calgary. It’s been a while.

I guess you and I are the “no, unusual” ones. :frowning: :frowning:

The forecast in NE Ohio is for a chilly, rainy day. Blech.

Las Cruces, New Mexico.

It tried to snow yesterday, but it melted the moment it hit the ground. We get white Easters more often than white Christmases.

But it did stick on the Organ Mountains, east of town, and they are quite lovely today.

The glories of a white Christmas are best appreciated by the those who never have. For us in polar climates, well we’d rather it were warm.
