Default Disappointed but still pleased

So what did you first think when you read my title.......ungrateful SOB?
No what I'm pleased about is that we have a white Christmas. What I'm disappointed about is the excellent cake of snow we had 2/3's of it melted down from the rains we had yesterday.

Did you know that supposedly there has to be at least two inches of snow on the ground to be officially called a white Christmas? Well we had a white Christmas this year , did you guys?

Hello to Scotland and Merry Christmas!

White Christmas doesn't happen all that often here in Tucson AZ. But we are having a wet Christmas with a winter storm.

Your pic is way too cute, is that you and your grandchild?

Not a worry here in Mass, plenty of the white stuff still on the ground and Maine had 26"+. I'm sure it's still there. I think it's time to buy another sled for myself. It is Christmas after all.

Not this year. We went to Florida to spend Christmas with the folks. I wish everyone a great Christmas.

We haven't seen 2 inches of snow if I added up all of the snowfall for the last 3 years.

65 degrees light rain, it is a Merry Christmas the power company does not get a heavy hit on the bill. Merry Christmas to all.

We definitely had a white Christmas in Chicago, but today the sun is finally shining. Merry Christmas to all.

No, no white Christmas this year. In fact, I can't remember ever seeing snowin San Francisco.

Funny because I'm back in the area for a few weeks over the holidays, no snow here, but where I live overseas just got 4-inches of snow today. I missed it.

White Christmas? Heck, I had the AC set on 75 this morning! It was hot, maybe about 80° today. I love florida weather but for Christmas I hate it!

No I found that pic on the net a few years back when I was looking for a good seasonal pic of Christmas. I was after something with a Christmas tree in it, but when I ran across that beauty I looked no further. To me that pic is priceless.

I had 2-3 feet of snow Wednesday morning (some drifts) and about 6 inches of it by Thursday morning. My paths are now clean to the ground or pavement. I'm ready for the next storm but lifeis good for now. lol

Foggy the past couple of days but temps in the low 70s. Today's shaping up to be clear so we're going for a boat ride later on!
