Or not!

Watching the Weather Channel, record temps are being looked for in many parts of N. America. Down here Christmas day is forecast to be 74 and between now and Christmas evening, over 4" of rain with a flood watch. Oh joy!. Glad that isn't about 40" of white stuff. :smow:

For you, only if the Snowbirds import the stuff in coolers and drive fast down 95? :lol:

73 on Christmas eve and on Christmas day here in the mountains. With all that rain you're getting GA heading our way. Santa better have a barge and some good flotation as we have a flood watch as well. El Nino in full effect.:facepalm:

We could get some of the white stuff on Christmas afternoon in an unlikely place, Mojave Desert of southern NV.

After the 'incident' Friday, I dont care to see any more of the S word stuff the rest of 2015.

Based on the current forecast, high 60s every day, w rain likely all week, thru the weekend, I'll get my wish.

The 'incident' was my Admiral snapping her right fibula celebrating the 1st snow of the year. And slipping off the sidewalk down the front steps
:facepalm:

I've slipped on my share of steps during my snowy past, butt only injury. Hope it was a clean break and no surgery needed. Best wishes on the Admiral's recovery, JB.

Jb sorry about the Admiral's leg. That would definitely make the white stuff an unwelcome guest. For me though ( owner of a small HVAC company ) I would at least like the normal temps for around here. No cold weather means no equipment breaking, which means business is slllloooowwwww.....

Hope it's good as can be expected news tomorrow.

SpaceX stuck the landing. A perfect 10!

temp -4c,, 6 inches of snow in the fields-And I am thinking that I will let the snow build up a little on the drive way as it is a sheet of ice from the melt 3 weeks ago.

And now I need to go clean the clutches on the sled

Our grass still looks kinda green. This one of the less than 1 in 4 brown Xmas around here. But the longer we go before any cold and snow the less we will have. Sucks for those who make a living off of the winter activities though.. (MN)

Pretty good chance here too. Current temp is about -15C, with about 2" down. It usually shows up sometime in the fall and stays until mid-April.

With the rain we're gettin' ... and temps to follow ... there's a better chance I'll be mowing the lawn on Christmas :eek:

JB sorry to hear of the Admiral's incident. Hope it turns out as simple as possible.
