No snow predicted for southeast North Carolina on Christmas this year.  Though it was quite chilly here yesterday, the forecast for Thursday is sunny and warm -- around 70 F.

Ugh yes, we have over 2 feet of the white stuff thanks to our lovely back to back storms over the weekend.  My dogs love it, but can barely run in it.  My son absolutely LOVES this stuff, he was outside most of the day yesterday ( :2thumbsup;) and Rob and I hate it!  I live in a valley, so we always get dumped a lot more than others. 

It was -3 degrees yesterday, today will be in the 20's, tomorrow it's supposed to be in the 40's and sleet/rain, Christmas day it's supposed to be 40's and then after that it will get cold again.  JOY!  All this stuff will be a sheet of ice, ugh!

I have lived in New England all my life and I still can't get used to the cold and the snow.

Here in Southeastern Michigan, the snow is coming down right now.  I already have several inches, and we are expected to have up to 7 more inches by the end of the day Christmas Eve.  It's been really c-c-c-c-cold lately, so the snow doesn't compact, it just blows around, making us need to shovel constantly.  The ice is the scariest part.  I love having a white Christmas, but this is ridiculous.

We had about 15 cm of snow yesterday so yes it will be a white Christmas.  The forecast for Christmas day is rain for some parts of Newfoundland and snow for other parts.  I think we are in the part that is going to get snow. about 15 - 20 cm of snow.  Supposed to rain for a few days after Christmas so it will probably disappear for a while again!!  I really hope we don't get as much snow as we got last year!!!

Nice house boxman!!  nice picture for a Christmas card!!

Snow, snow and more snow here!  It started early this year, and doesn't look to be letting up any time soon. 

I like a white Christmas, but enough already.

We finally got some decent  snow fall. After shovelling the driveway, then I started to try to get the 2 to 4 inches of ice off the driveway. That took almost 4 hours to do. :o :urcrazy;

It is 10am here on Christmas Eve and the snow is coming down in big flakes. There is no wind so it is coming straight down. I just like to sit and listen and watch. What a beautiful day. Merry Christmas to all...Boxman

Oh Boxman, I am so jealous. It is cloudy and warm here and they are calling for rain and wind later today. Take some more pictures Box, I wish I could hear the the peaceful flakes falling. I bet it is beautiful. Merry Christmas.  :cuddle;

We've had  a week of snow and ice.  Odd for this part of the world, but it's snowing now, and Church is canceled, and we are settled down for a long winter's nap.  Good Sleigh weather. :2thumbsup; :secret;

I was sitting out on the back porch a little while ago.  It's warm for December and windy, too.  The wind chimes were blowing in the breeze and the tree tops were a little wild.  Plenty of stars but no moon in sight.  Santa will be warm, but the landings might be a little tricky.

Well Christmas Day is done here. We had beautiful weather. A bit cool for summer, but not too bad. a max of 22C which is closing in on 75F bright sunshine and a light breeze for most of the day. I took a long walk after lunch with my family and walked a bit over 7km's (about 5miles) and really enjoyed it though my feet did hurt when I got home. However it was very good for the exercise and walking through the gardens and enjoying the fresh(ish) air was lovely.

Tomorrow we are expecting 29C (~85F)
