May you get all the snow you want!

 

I don't want any. I travel a lot and we have been free of snow for a couple of weeks now and it suits me just fine. That's exactly what I want for christmas: a dry snow-free winter!

 

That and peace on earth.

When do we want it? Later!

Actually, I live quite far south of the arctic circle (from here to there, it's just as far as from here to south of france).

 

Still, in the winter, daylight hours are fewer here than in south of Europe.

The odds of the Bay Area getting snow in late December is probably about 7,237,546 to one. Of course, I can just get in the car and drive three hours to get to some of the best snow in the world, but the chances of us having a white Christmas here in Richmond are about as good as us having a hot lava Christmas. :freak:

The last week it's been quite mild for the season (+1 to +5 degrees celsius). Today it's 3 below freezing. Up in the north of Sweden it often is much colder (often minus 15-30 or colder), but it is a different cold because of different humidity, so it doesn't feel that cold.

Down here, if it it's minus fifteen, it feels very cold. :D

 

Fortunately, we have summers to die for! :thu:

Yeah, Mats, I used to live in those far northern latitudes, up in Alaska. The term "white Christmas" carried a different meaning up there. They'd all say, "I hope we have a white Christmas"...meaning that it would actually be snowing on Christmas day. Down here, a "white Christmas" just meant that there could be some half-melted dirty brown oily clumps of slush on the ground and it would still count.

 

My first year in Valdez, Alaska, the season's total snowfall was 560 inches. After it packed down, it was still 9 feet deep.
