I’m guessing many people who read here are the victims/beneficiaries of the huge snowstorm going up the east coast. Anyone going to have a white Christmas? Anyone having an unexpected white Christmas?
Where I grew up in the south-central part of Michigan, it was rather hit or miss with the white Christmases. Maybe 50-50. Since moving to West Michigan, closer to Lake Michigan, I think I’ve had a white Christmas pretty much every year.
We received about a half an inch overnight so everything is coated white again. We probably have around three or four inches on the ground as it has melted and settled some since the blizzard. We should have a white Christmas but no snowstorms before then which is nice for everyone who has to travel and all the snow removal people who won’t have to spend their holiday in a truck! 
What’s the view out your Christmas window?
My window view… soggy brown leaves, bare trees, and yellowing grass. I’d love a nice coating of white snow to cover it all and I would thrill to have a white Christmas. I’ve never had a snowy Christmas, even when this deep south girl lived in central Ohio.
I’ve thought about you as I’ve seen Western Michigan get its’ usual December lake affect snows. I also don’t remember any Christmas that wasn’t white (very white, extremely white) the ten years we were in Holland.
We’ve had a dusting of snow overnight and it is snowing today. We usually have about a 50-50 chance of a white Christmas. January is our snowy month.
Outside it’s cold, patches of snow still on the ground from a week ago when it was *really* cold. I think we are expecting snow before Christmas, but you never know (the forecasts are not always accurate!). It would be fun to go sledding on Christmas Day- we did that last year!
It rained all day yesterday, so the view out my window is dreary and wet. I was hoping it would snow! But unfortunately, it remained a miserable 35-38 degrees during all that rain. Bleh.
I’ve never had a white Christmas. It’s one of my dreams to someday experience one!
One year I want to rent a cabin in New Hampshire or Vermont for Christmas. I think that would be fun!
It’s a white landscape already here in southern NH, and frigid as well. The birds have been very active at the feeders. We’re expecting a few inches from the storm traveling up the coast but nothing like our neighbors further south. The forecast says possiblity of snow of Christmas day, but I hope not, just for the sake of people who will be visiting folks.
I have always wanted a white Christmas. I thought maybe there was a chance this year as it has been (for us) unseasonably cold for December. However, it has warmed up the last couple days. It is currently a sunny 52 degrees (at 11am in the morning…it’ll get even warmer before the day is over) and my four-year-old is wearing her flip flops instead of boots. Garden chores are underway after a few weekends in a row of rain, and it is green in my yard. That is a bad thing, by the way, because the green? It’s weeds!
We got a foot or more (East Coast storm). It’s very pretty, but I’m not a snow person really and would be just as merry for Christmas without it
It’s been mild here in central Oklahoma, but the weathermen are falling over themselves trying to predict all kinds of snow on Christmas Eve. We aren’t traveling, the pantry is full and the gifts are purchased, so I say, “bring it on!” (:
The ground was covered with snow this morning but it has rained all day and is now muddy and wet. Looks like we will have a gray Christmas!
For the first time in 83 years North Central Texas had a White Christmas. Unbelievable.
Our part of the city had about 2 inches. Not much snow by some standards but for we Texans it was a blizzard.
