WHITE CHRISTMAS HERE

hckynutjohn — Thu, 24 Dec 2015 17:26:06 GMT

Been up all night and it started snowing in the weee hours. Still snowing and I'd guess on our walks and loooooong/curved driveway? At least 5" right now and still coming down.

Just got done shoveling the sidewalks and taking a coffee break before I tackle the driveway. Used to have a handshake deal with my neighbor. He used his BobCat to plow my driveway and I would mow his front acreage in return.

Not sure what's up, but I ain't seen his Bobcat sitting on his land lately. We had a few inches of snow earlier this year and he was a no-show. Next time I see him I'll ask him whats up? For now, since I sold our snow blower after 2nd heart attack? I will shovel very, very slowly, and hope my body holds up.

@hckynutjohn

John, please take extra care when working on the snow today.

Merry Christmas to you and your family.

@hckynutjohn, I'm three hours north of you and we're having a green Christmas! I heard 8" will be here on Saturday, though.

I don't think you should shovel! I am perfectly able to, but I have a team of young guys that show up when there's over 2" and do it all in like 15 min. It would take me three hours by myself! Definitely worth the cost of the service.

Be safe doing that shoveling. It's very unseasonably warm here in mid Atlantic. You can keep the snow but I'd prefer seasonably cool. Merry Christmas to you and yours and all your fur babies

We had two and possibly another tornado hit Indiana last night - quite a bit of damage in a few areas. Everyone here would like some snow (not me though!) for Christmas. I'm enjoying the sun and warmth while I can.

Oh John, I am officially jealous! Right now the thermometer outside my house says 78 degrees! I hate it! I am making a few cookies but I had to turn on my a/c. I think this is the first year I ever had to put the AC on except for the times I spend Christmas in Australia!!

Enjoy your lovely snow and know that many ladies on this board are very envious!!

It's going to be a record-breaking 72 in the NE today and I will be very happy not to see any snow this season. Snow on the ground means I'm afraid to walk and slip.

Please be careful shoveling, John. I hope you can find a couple of kids to do it for you instead.

Where are you? I'm on my way. This incessant pattern of warm, wet air, rain, fog and all around slop thrown at the DC area for the past week (and the next and a good bit of what was supposedly fall) has just put a huge damper on everything. It's miserable, and I'd turn my A/C on, but it was winterized and disabled for the season. I put my summer clothes away too... Go figure. It's freakin' December... The least festive holiday season weather I can remember and that's saying a lot, because we often have lousy weather at Christmas.

It's in the 50s today but they are predicting 100% chance of snow on Sunday and we are supposed to be below freezing from Saturday until Tuesday. It's about time. I actually had to kick off the blankets last night.

@stevieb

If John didn't live so far from me, honestly I'd be willing to help him shovel. As a lifelong Michigan resident, this weather is just too weird for me. I mean scary weird.

Karnerblue — Thu, 24 Dec 2015 19:16:17 GMT

Yes John, do be careful and don't strain yourself. I'm in the north east, NY, and it's warm and sunny. Been raining on and off. Tomorrow they predict close to 70!

Nope. I'd rather have snow. There's nothing to like about this weather pattern, especially as protracted as it's proving to be...

John,

The weather is crazy. My ac went on today. It is warm and HUMID here.

Please be careful shoveling. Take it slow.

Wishing you and Cindy a joyous holiday.

We are suppose to have a White after Christmas. Suppose to start with rain late Fri night with a mix to follow, next ice & end with 3-5"+ of snow on Mon. It's going to get slick around here. Hope we don't get ice like we did Thanksgiving weekend. Finally got all that mess cleaned up since it's been nice here since that ice storm. Enjoy your White Christmas!!!

I'm with @MaggieMack ...get some help!

Or be creative...I like this idea, but I would have to maybe use a blow dryer LOL...

And...somebody has to do it...might as well be me...

Merry Christmas, John, to you and yours!
