I’m at my Mum’s place in Johnstown, PA, not at the Ranch. Just skated into the ‘white’ column here as an unexpected half-inch fell Christmas eve. ---

We did! It was quite nice actually - not enough to cause difficulties but enough to give everywhere a nice white coating. 🙂 ---

Hmm… The interesting thing about that… 😉 It snowed before christmas. But we (my brother and I) shovelled it all up. And I don’t mean just on the driveway and sidewalk. We shovelled the _entire_ backyard. We now have 12 snow mountains in our backyard. Some of them are more than six feet tall. Don’t ask why we did this. As far as we can tell it was because of temporary insanity. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-had-a-white-christmas/281650.md?page=2)
