A White Christmas

[The Czech Republic]

We got a fair dusting this morning, maybe about an inch. The last few years, I think it's been pretty mild for December around Chicago. (And yeah I remember '98.) But still, we haven't had a great deal of snow in what seems like forever. Chicago used to get more blizzards than a Dairy Queen clerk abusing his employee discount, but New Year's Eve has been in the high 40s two years running.

We got about 3cms of snow,which for Ireland is pretty good as usually there isnt the sight of snow at any time of the year, unless its a freak occurance.

So a white christmas? yes and no. Snow falling from the sky but melting a few hours later.

It snowed last night in Houston for an hour or two. People were making such a big deal on the news, and rightfully so. Texas snow...it's wonderful. I had to go out and take pics just because it was so rare.

It's rainy in Jacksonville, too, but much colder: 45 degrees. Including windchill, it's 40.

Tropical heatwave...the temperature's risin', and it ain't surprisin'...

2 nights ago, it was thirty below with the windchill.

[Murmuring Beast]

Yes.

If we had a white christmas, I think everyone would know about it.

How warm is it over there by Ft. Meyers/Naples? I'm still in disbelief that South Florida (or at least Miami) is the only part of the country where we can actually go out in shorts and a tanktop for christmas. It's seriously that warm over here. It wasn't even this bad in California, where the temperatures are around the 50's right now.

Yesterday was in the 50's before it started raining. I had to go out to my gal's car in the middle of the rain and it felt like ice water, so I think it got colder than 50.

 

I was kind of cold all day.

We got 13 inches of snow in cincy, from wednesday morning to thursday morning, it is now Sunday and they have not even plowed the street my house is on once. Hell, I-75 south, going into Kentucky was still covered with giant chunks of ice and snow last night. This city is so fucking incompetent. Other cities get 13 inches of snow and it is totally clear the next day, in Cincy you better hope for a warmup, because everyone in this city is a fucking retard.

Its snowing here today.

 

Whoop-de-freakin-do.

I live in North Bergen, NJ, very close to NYC. We had a White Christmas a couple of years ago, not sure when.

Well we obviously don't get White Christmases in Australia, being summer and all, but I did have a White Christmas last year when I was living in Whistler (B.C, Canada). It was snowing on Christmas morning and we skiied powder all day.

One of the coolest Christmas moments ever was two years ago at my uncle's Central Park West apartment, looking out into the park at the falling snow (It must have been at least a foot to a foot and a half that day)

Yeah, that town is a hellhole. My most vivid memory of it is being high and getting lost in some godforsaken neighborhood called Over the Rhine.
