Merry Christmas everyone!

as the Good Book says:

Quote:
And there were shepherds in the same country abiding in the fields, and watching by night over their flock. And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them: and the glory of the Lord shone round about them, and they feared with a great fear. And the angel said to them, Fear not: for, lo, I announce to you great joy, which shall be to all the people: For this day is born to you a Savior, who is Christ the Lord, in the city of David. And this shall be a sign to you: you shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling-bands laid in a manger: And suddenly there was present with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host, praising God, and saying, Glory in the highest to God, and on earth peace, among men good-will.
Merry Christmas everyone!

Ditto, mbossman. Sadly, the weather forecast calls for 40-50F with rain today and tomorrow, and only slightly colder on the 25th, with no chance of the white stuff here in NY. Meanwhile, they're getting feet of snow in the Midwest. Nothing depresses me more than a brown Christmas.

i live in NC and we'll have no snow....headed to Chicago for Christmas Eve and Day and it is supposed to be ccccccccold (single digits or lower).

after living in Buffalo for 30 years, i only miss the snow for about an hour on Christmas...

this year in raleigh, it will be almost warm enough to do Christmas on the deck (its 62 now and tomorrow and christmas will be in the mid to upper 40's)

Have fun getting through Indiana if you are driving - they got socked with a ton of snow the other day. Ground is bare here though, it went south and east and missed us.

Here in Minnesota we just got a covering of snow a couple days ago. Before then, it was bare ground. But hey, it's -8º F here this morning.

Merry Christmas, everybody!

I am flying but my brother lives in South Bend and is concerned about getting there and back (plus he really wants to go skiing on Christmas Day rather than have the holiday with all of the family for the 1st time in almost 15 years...scrooge)

Merry Christmas. We get about an inch of snow when we're lucky here in Georgia. Oh well, we're all used to it. (And that's on the years when it does snow).

Got about an inch of snow on the ground here in IA (after an Alberta Clipper just passed through) with temps in the single digits.

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Shoulda seen Ohio - record snow since the blizzrd of 1978, CVG was literally closed along with two other highways running through southern OH - my sister was coming down from Michigan which was for once, warmer and better weather than Detroit. Fantastical.

Happy Holidays to all
