   We had a surprise snowy landscape to wake up to this morning on Dec 23 in the Puget Sound area of Washington. This evening it is still there in most grassy areas and some frozen slushy stuff on parts of roads and our porch and steps. It will probably still be there in the morning as it is freezing, but I don’t know if it will be there till the 25th. It would be neat if it did, but around here, a white Christmas is rather rare. The temps are nearing the 40s during the day but mostly hovering in the 30s, so there is a chance of it. That is a nice touch and makes it seem more like Christmas, and makes the inside more cozy.

   Your “weather” conditions sound so nice for Christmas! We are staying warm here, outside. The chill has vacated and don’t know if we will even want to try a fire on Christmas morn.

   Often for us it is nice and chilly or frosty for Christmas, snow on Christmas is always unlikely, it does snow in this area, usually in January or February, and if it does snow it doesn’t last long most times be it December, January, or any other month.

   We get cold snaps that are deep and last three or more days, sometimes two or so days. Those are either dry, or ice storms. I’d love an ice storm for Christmas. It’s a bad thing for power lines and trees, but looks as Wintry Wonderland as one could wish for, and everything shuts down as if it was a holiday. As I said about the snow, this ususally only occurs in Jan. or Feb.

   We are supposed to have rain tonight, and lows will be in the mid-40’s, so no ice overnight for Christmas. It’ll be sunny with clouds thickening today, and up to 64, so quite warm. Christmas Day they are promising some rain, at least cloudy and cooler, just looking for a high of 50. At least it’s cooler and sort of “Christmas-like” –a change from warm, warm, rain, cloudy, some sun. FWIW
