Going to be a green Christmas (weather)

I've been enjoying the seasonably warm weather this year. We were in the 50's-almost 60's for most of the last 2 weeks. In the 40's today. I can only find weather for the next 7 days and it looks like 2 of the days will be a rain/snow mix. We are also traveling on Christmas Eve for 5 hours, so I'm okay with none this year.

I hope so. The day we get snow at all, let alone on Christmas day in the middle of summer, I'll know the world is ending :-P

But for those of you in the northern hemisphere, i hope the weather treats you well over the next two weeks.

Looks like a green Christmas in MI, too. So bummed.

We are supposed to have a snowmobile party for my family Christmas. ..all the snow has melted.

That's how MOST of ours are.

I just wish it didn't look so blah here. We had wicked cold Oct/Nov and now warm Dec. I'm all out of sorts.

I only have all my grandchildren together every other year. This was the year I was planning to have an outdoor picture taken for my cards next year and it looks like NO SNOW...bummer we always have snow!

I'm perfectly fine with the brown blah landscape. Beats a winter wonderland that I have to drive in and walk through. I really need to move to the tropics.

We will have a green Christmas as we usually do. The daytime highs have been around 8C which is warm for this time of year. I wore a warm coat to work today because it is squishy. No one would see me in it as my parking place is hidden from the public.

Now, cherries and peaches at this time of year would be really great! I love cherries and I adore white peaches!

i'm really bummed with no snow. it just isn't right

The weather we are having right now  is pretty close to average, at least the temps. After.last year's record breaking snowfall, I am perfectly ok with below average snowfall. To me, snow isn't what makes it Christmas, and I would infinitely prefer it not be actively snowing on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day when so many are driving to visit family.

Yep, almost always a green Christmas here. No half brown lawns though, not with all the rain in the Pacific Northwest.

I wish we could have a White Christmas, we so seldom get them that I'm always hoping for one.

The night before Thanksgiving it snowed. We awoke Thanksgiving morning to about an inch or two of the white stuff on the ground but the roads were just wet. The trees and bushes were covered with snow - it was beautiful. DH said, "If only we could get this for Christmas." Yeah, that would be perfect!

I saw a graphic that showed the chances of a white Christmas based on historical probability. My area was sitting in the 60% or better scale. MI has a 50% chance or better for a white Christmas. Nearly 100% in the UP.

Yesterday, we did an early celebration with DH's family. It was weird doing it with no snow. It was warm enough that several of us were sitting outside on the porch with no shoes on (it was almost unbearably warm in the house). It felt like we were celebrating Christmas in March, not December.
