It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

We had an ice storm last night. We were expecting 1 or 2 inches of snow; instead we got ice! I was coming home from shopping, and I couldn't get my truck up the driveway because it was coated with ice. I got about half way up, and slid all the way back down in the street! I got out of bed this morning, and looked out the window in time enough to see my asshole neighbor fall on his butt! Normally, I wouldn't laught at this too much, but he's a jerk.
... OK, I'm off to sand the driveway! Wish me luck!

It is 57 degrees inside my house right now, and I consider that a titty bit nipply. Okay... I'm freezing my ass off right now.

But I suppose 57 is toasty warm compared to where you're at right now.

57 sounds good... I'm looking at 25 right now!

Atlanta is not that cold yet. It has gotten in the 30's at night, but mostly the days are in the 60's. But, that will change soon. Bundle up!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here in Canada as I look out my window I see white. It's been freezing and snowy all week. But supposedly it's supposed to warm up a little bit (probably not to your northerns California standards though). I'm sitting next to my Christmas tree so it IS beginning to look a lot like Christmas

YAY

I am in Northwest Indiana and have a couple of inches of snow. The little snow birds are feeding at the new bird feeder and the squirrels are digging the bread that I threw out last nite out of the snow.Last night it was very pretty and sparkly watching the snow fall into the nite. Sara1998, I must have the same kinda driveway you do--come icy or alot of snow it is hard to go up my driveway and on several occasions have slid backwards down the street backing out the driveway---It is hell to get stuck in the hedge!!!

You're all so lucky you have snow. I'm in California and I hate it.

It is about 70 degrees and sunny in LA. Last night, the temp in my house got down to 59 - but I was none the wiser. In the house it is a lot like Christmas. The tree is up, the house is fully decorated. I am going to start wrapping presents today. This is about as Christmas looking as I will see until I take a trip to the woods next weekend, and then go to Oregon for the holiday. It's nice !

There's a decent amount of snow on the grounds here in Pittsburgh, and I believe it's been in the 20s the last few days. I'm not complaining though, nothing gets me more in the holiday spirit...then again, I don't drive.

Overcast and a bit windy, it's been typical December weather here in San Antonio. The average temp is 56 degrees...we are very spoiled.
HOWEVER... I have a fire in the fireplace, the house is FULL ON Christmas...Heart is on the stereo...the dog is chasing the cats...there is cheese dip on the stove...My man is wrapping presents and wine is flowing...yeah, this is the holidays!

Snow here in Boston too, its in the low 30s. Yes, 57 is downright balmy to us right now. Although we had temps in that range a couple of weeks ago! That's New England for you.

Wanna trade? The other day I had to walk to work and by the time I got there I couldn't feel my legs!

DavidMn · #13 12-04-2005, 05:10 PM

Yeah, we have like 7 inches on the ground here now, and its 5 degress above zero now.

I was cracking up when this happened to me... My friend has the same kind of drive I do, and I pulled up last night and had the same problem. So, I parked on the street. When I got out of the truck, my feet would not stay still. I kept sliding into my truck! Finally, I shuffled over to the grass, and even that was slick!

We have a little ditch in the backyard, so Sara got a sled, took a running start off the patio, and went ice sledding! I joined her for a few rounds... great fun!!!

Hey! Where exactly are you?

Here in my part of Canada (Toronto)... no snow to speak of yet. We've had a couple of dustings, but you can see the grass, and the streets are completely free of anything resembling ice or snow.

(Sorry - I hate cold and snow!)
