What a surprise! When we got home around midnight we had snow on the ground, awoke this morning to rain, mild temperatures and 99% of the snow is gone. This works for me! I know you "White Christmas" fans are bummed out, but if I don't have to spend the weekend shoveling my butt out of a blizzard I for one am a happy camper.
And what is with this White Christmas nonsense anyway? The "first" Christmas took place in the desert! So! if you want an "authentic " Christmas go dump a truck load of sand in your yard, and toss in a few camel turds for good measure, and it will be just like when Jesus was born.
Well! Try and have yourself a Merry little Christmas with or without snow. HANK.

Tried that sand and camel turd thing. Blocked off the sidewalk, honked off the neighbors! No one has a sense of humor anymore!
And Hank, dammit, quit getting me into trouble....................... ( yeah - like I need any help! )

FYI: Deserts have been know to get snow, and Antarctica is considered a desert (a snow desert!).

Right you are Dill...Cuz if he had been you would of had the three wise penquins bringing fish! Like what the hell else do they have to bring?
And yes, Jasmine, on RARE occasions it does snow or rain in a desert. but 1/10 th of an inch of rain in a century don't amount to a hell of a lot.
HANK.

DUH! I just had an epiphany. The penquins could bring him a Coke. That is if the Polar Bears hadn't drank all of them!
And what the hell are those two species doing at the same pole anyway? HANK.

Hey, it's advertising.....it doesn't HAVE to make sense! ;D And I don't know about Christ....little young there, but I'm pretty sure Mary could have used a Coke after all that labor!

Yeah - that bugs me that penguins are used all over to promote Christmas. They don't even live on the same continent. Penguins don't live north of the equator naturally. There are warm water penguins in S. America but none in the Artic. They'd get eaten by the polar bears. They'd never have a chance, they are barely making it as it is.

Just let the dogs out and noticed we have a trace of snow on the ground, doesn't look like any accumulation to speak of. Considering all the doom and gloom the weatherman was forecasting the other night from some storm out in the west that was headed our way, this ain't bad.
Hope ya'all have a happy and snowless NEW YEAR! HANK.

When I posted this morning everything was fine. Shortly there after all hell broke loose out here. By the time we left to drive into Cleveland around 11:30 the roads out here were a mess. I know the plows were out because I saw them go down the street, but to look at the roads you would never know it. I was in 4 wheel drive till I hit the Lake Co. line where the road was clear down to pavement from there all the way to Bob and Rhonda's house in Cleveland.
Coming home this evening was one wild ride. Visibility was pretty much non-existent for the most part and the roads looked as if they had not been touched all day, average speed was 20, 25 MPH. Long ride home. Well, I know what I will be doing tomorrow, digging my butt out of here as I will have snow up to my ear lobes by then. Weather wise this "New Year" is starting out like crap! HANK.
