Ok, I like a white Christmas and all, but...

Snow? Snow? What is this... "snow..." of which you speak?

I get a nice hazy brown Christmas... Ah, good 'ole Los Angeles!

I second IF's comment.
It is 35 degrees Celsius (95 F) here and Xmas day tomorrow is looking to be about the same.
Xmas BBQ lunch and dinner around the pool again!

You guys just haven't lived until you shoveled 15 inches of snow off your driveway and halfway across the street to get your car out and go anywhere. I had shovel that far out into the street cause I live on a side street that doesnt' get plowed by the city until all the main ones do. Some volunteer with a pickup truck and a snow shovel came down our street, but he only made one pass. Had to dig out to there to move my car. Ugh, I really should get a snow blower. Of course we usually only get a snow bad enough to need one every couple years. Most of the snow we get isn't deep enough to need shoveling if you are lazy like me.

Its okay, Grazic is probably shoveling snow when the rest of us are having BBQ.

the poor upside-down sod probably does not realize that up here in the propper hemisphere we have the barby on our shrimp, instead of the other way around.

Unless he lives in the Blue Mountains he wouldn't shovel snow...ever. We don't get snow except on mountains. I have a whacking great mountain right out my window and it usually has snow on it, but there has only been sea level snow twice in my lifetime (and I live in Tasmania which is the coldest state)

I'm Near Montreal here and yesterday we had Rain! So most of the snow in my little town has melted. it's a little icy, and the grass is still covered but the sidewalks and roads are pretty clear.

..and due to my mother being under the weather, the family has decided to do an emergency move of the Christmas super here to my house. That leaves me holding the turkey and the menu at the Last minute. Looks like it's going to be a long day. Oh well, I can sleep between xmas and new years I guess.

Cheers!

Well down here in good 'ol Tidewater Virginia we got 0.0625 inches (one sixteenth of an inch) of snow woith two inch drifts!!! That was enogh to shut down all the schools for the day and to cause everyone to drive under thirty MPH. The amazing thing is that it actually snowed before christmas this year.

Hey, it's an incentive (and means) to keep in shape during the dark months and not let the beerbelly grow. I spent more than an hour shoveling snow today.

Looks like I'm not going to have a white Christmas this year. It doesn't snow very much here, and I can only remember only having a few white Christmases ever.

Done my share of shoveling snow. Worst I ever saw was in Boston in 1971. Snow drifts covered the windows of our barracks at Ft. Devens which means the drifts were at least 10 feet deep. As for regular depth, the "blizzard" left a bit less than 2 feet. I left that place in April and never saw the ground the whole time I was there...just snow.

As to "your" blizzard, its effects were far-reaching. It cost me an extra 2 and a half hours on the ground in Tampa, Florida because of other plane delays from it.
