We got snow 1n Missouri. This the first time we've had (will have) a white Christmas in ..... well I'm 54 and this is the first time I can remember in years. I know this has nothing to do with gimp but it IS noteworthy.

lol Missouri's known at the "Show Me" state.

I'm near the top of Illinois by the border (Rockford) and Missouri is right by Illinois, I actually thought you guys get snow there. Had no idea this is 1st time in a long time.

Believe it or not, we even may get some snow on Christmas Day late afternoon. I've lived in Alabama nearly all my life, and the nearest we had to snow was that it did indeed snow for a day about a week prior to Christmas in the mid 90s as I recall. If we get snow on Christmas Day (even if it is in the evening), that would be truly good news (unlike you northern folk, snow is an extremely rare event for where I reside and I still look forward to it when it does. lol). We don't ever get more then 2 to 4 inches though. Maybe enough to make snowmen.

Below's a link of the snowmen that I took last February (well after the snow started to melt; lol). :)

Cool pix, Lyle. That bottom image on the left ... that front door is outta site. Love the oval glass (probably beveled around the edges with a pattern etched in it?) and the side window treatment. Wunnerful.

A lot of homes in my neighborhood has these type doors O. Never trusted these Glass doors, but do like the look. A little colder today then yesterday by the way; high only in the low 50s. Going to be colder tomorrow and again, we might actually get some snow tomorrow evening. If so, and, if I decide not to be lazy, I might make a snowman (last one I made was only 5 inches high. Used a blue and orange (no accident) twist ties as the scarf. lol). So far, I am still not feeling Christmas. Maybe tomorrow when I see my nephews I might come close to feeling it. Anyway, I still do wish you all a very Merry Christmas. Keep safe and warm. :)

No, but I did have a spontaneous snowball fight with my three kids, all of which are fully grown. We spent morning and early afternoon at my ex wife's house and had an excellent time.

We get some every year, not like in the 60s and 70s when we'd get 2 feet at a time, now we get 3 or 4 inches 2 or 3 times a year.

We supposed have gotten flurries, but, alas no snow here. It's 35°F right now and not going to get much warmer (thought I heard that we would be in the mid 50s a few days ago, but guess I heard wrong; lol). Definitely cold outside. For those who got some Christmas snow, I do envy you some. :)

You don't have to Molly. lol

We actually did get some flurries today; no accumulation since it's been so warm, but if it continues into the evening, we will have some accumulation since it suppost to get down to the low 20s tonight. Feel sorry for the folks in Atlanta though; those in the New England area too. :)
