We've got maybe an inch or two on the ground. Roads look slippery. Very light snow right now. As long as the weather system keeps heading east, we'll get maybe 6-12 inches but New England will get hit hard.

I saw a present under the tree that says "To Sweetie Pie, From Santa Baby."  I think it's for me.
Merry Christmas!  [wavey]

So what was in the box? Something from Victoria's Secret?

El Nino has kept South Dakota dry.  We have enough snow to call it a white Christmas, about an inch or so can see the grass sticking up through it.  Really frosty this morning, beautiful, the sun is shining on it.

Hope every one gets where they want to go safely.

Have a Merry Christmas every one.

Merry Christmas to the gang![/size][/color]


We're having a brown Christmas in Kansas City. Just south of us, they have lots of snow. I never think the outoor Christmas decorations look right without snow, but I hate driving in the stuff.

I've been going to parties and celebrating since Sunday and have one more dinner tonight. Whew. Good thing this only happens once a year.

Well, here in Fairmont, West Virginia, it's just going to rain.  Don't get me wrong, that's what I've been praying for.  


MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!!!!

We're having whiteout conditions right now. I can barely see the house across the street. [shckd]

3:43 PM - Still raining here on Long Island, but expected to turn to snow--just when we have to get out on the road, of course, to celebrate Christmas with friends!  

We've been fortunate--the temperature has remained high enough to ensure monsoon-like rain instead of the white stuff.  It's very dreary, and windy!

Hope everyone is enjoying Christmas!  Keep warm and safe, my friends!

Love, Robin

Well, we didn't get quite the amount they kept threatening all day long but at least I woke up to some white stuff. Last night I was driving home from a party in sleet that turned to ice which wasn't a good experience. I think my house has about 1 inch on the ground right now but it keeps snowing on and off. I know areas within 2 hours of us got up to 10 inches.
Hope everyone is having a great holiday today. Tomorrow I go back to the gym!!

This thread was WONDERFUL!!!  It's after 11pm here on the east end of Long Island, and I feel like I've got my own personal band of meteorologists keeping me informed about conditions all over the country!!

We had to leave dinner at my brother's house early because the roads were icing, and the snow was beginging to stick.  Even with a 4-wheel-drive pick-up it's just not worth the risk of waiting while it gets worse.  So we took dessert (Italian pastries, of course) home with us.  

We made it home safely (Obviously!!) but it was a hell of a ride down the Expressway and NOT the way I would have chosen to spend Christmas evening!  The worst of it was the near-zero visibility as the snow came sideways at us.  Combined with the icing on the road surfaces and it was white-knuckle time all the way home. Now, they're calling for about 4 inches by morning out here, tho considerably more back towards the City.

Hope everyone out there had a wonderful Christmas, arrived and returned safely, and is looking forward to a healthy and prosperous New Year.

Cordless headphones.  LOL   Didn't even know such a thing existed.

I'd say the chances of someone who's put on 15 lbs. in the last year getting something from Victoria's Secret are pretty remote -- wouldn't you????

My husband and I went out to dinner last night.  Snow started falling in Nassau County, Long Island, around 6 PM.  Conditions deteriorated rapidly as we drove to a friend's house for dessert.  On the parkway, whiteout conditions made for near-zero visibility--we could barely see the exits.  It was scary and harrowing--getting stuck at any red lights a disaster, because our wheels spun as we attempted to get going again.  My husband had a terrible time getting the car up the driveway and we both had to shovel away soggy, heavy snow so he could make it.

White Christmas?  Bah, humbug--you can keep it!  And now I have to somehow clear off my totally snow-covered car and get to work.  God knows how even the main roads are!

Love, Robin
