    Not much accumulation yet, what we have been getting is more rain than snow. But now the temperature is down to 32F/0C and more waves of snow coming our way.
    Everything is supposed to be over and off to our east by early evening.

    I don't know that we have had snow on christmas eve before, this is soooooo cool.

    Wow! 24 C is good Norwegian summer temps here. :D Congratulations on your snow. You've got nearly as much as we do. Only a thin coat outside, but it's still a white Christmas.

    Right now here in central Utah it is 13* and there is 15" of snow on the ground. :eek: It will be -10 by morning. Santa is going to be very cold on his rounds around here. Better leave him a hot toddy out to get him through the night! :D

    We went to see Avatar tonight, it was still snowing when we went into the theater but when we left there the sky was clear and the highway was waaaaay slippery. We got about 2 inches of snow in total. That means a white christmas tomorrow, first one since 1926

    I'm so glad the birds aren't birds. :D Your yard looks very festive, I must say. How clever of you to time the snow fall just in time for Christmas Day. Merry Christmas Toni. :D

    OK If I see Santa around here I'm kidnapping him and pinching his boots!!! :D :D
    We've got 18" of snow and it's coming down hard again. :eek:
    You can all come and take some away whenever you like - I may even be kind enough to throw in a glass of wine and a piece of Christmas cake. ;)
