Merry Christmas Everyone! We had a great day - it started at about 3:15am as Santa was leaving the area with a very loud boom as he exceeded sound speed. :-)

Actually it was a nearby lightning strike that killed our power for a few seconds. Then we had local thunderstorms with rain downpours until about 9:00am. The rain stopped and it was looking good, especially about 3:30pm or so when we started getting rain with clumps of snow! :-)

By 4:15 it was snowing heavily, and all told it looks like we got an inch or maybe two before it stopped sometime after 9:00pm. Anyway, here's a pic of our first Christmas in Texas, and it was/is a white Christmas!!! :-)

Haven't had a white Christmas in Virginia in some time. Man do I miss those days.

It was snowing yesterday morning, started to accumulate. Then it stopped and melted. No white Christmas.

Glad at least one person who wanted it got a white Christmas, Joe. :-)

Here in Chicago, I was more than cool with a green Christmas.

I like it, so does wifey. The last white Christmas I had was 1959 on Vashon Island, WA when I was 8 years old. Sure am glad to be back in a rural setting now, even though I did have to wait for retirement to do so. All the interim years were spent in SoCal and I'm really glad to be out of that mess!

Texas got snow? Oh come on! Now I know the deserts of California deserve a little powder if Texas is getting some -.-

A white Christmas is nice but I remember how people drive in VA in the snow. Well I wouldnt call it driving so much as it is sliding off the road into a ditch. Made me want to lock the door and hide under my bed.
