    We had a storm blow in Dec. 24th & it gave us a white Christmas - the first in over 10 years!

    It's a far cry from the colourful, summery photos I'm used to seeing from your end, WTxDaddy, but lovely none the less. :D

    It happens every few years that we get a good snowfall. This one was said to be between 4 and 7 inches. It is still here after 2 days of sun shining on it! We can use the moisture, but the roads are a mess. We don't have street equipment to deal w/ this stuff!

    Very pretty! No snow for Christmas for us this year, though it did snow about 10 days ago. And has since melted!

    A white Christmas is a nice change for you I'm sure! We didn't have snow for Christmas this year.
