It was a colder day today than it has been lately, maybe about 70. It's been
in the low 80's lately, pretty warm for this time of year. Luckily it's
going to be 67 on Christmas and drop to the 50s next week. Someday I want to
wake up Christmas morning with snow outside. Maybe when I go to Boston for
graduate school.

It's minus something degrees, windy and the storm dropped 25cm (inches and
inches) of snow last night.  Had to dig my car out this morning and skid my
way to the main road.  Took me an extra half hour to get to work ths
morning!  Going home was easier.  the snowstorm has turned into a nice
gentle snowfall, the snowplows are finally getting the roads cleared and a
nice gentleman helped me push my car out of a drift.

It's a hot chocolate evening.  Later, after I come back in from moving the
car so the plow can clear the drive, it's going to be a hot chocolate and
peppermint schnapps evening!

Pretty much count on it!  We had about 6 inches on Thanksgiving Day one year.
And it stayed really pretty for a while, being on a holiday.  The problem
with Boston snow is so much of it gets dirty so quickly.  But some areas stay
pretty.  Our first year it didn't snow until just about Christmas Day, but we
were in Florida for break by then  :)

So where are you aiming for graduate school?  Huh, huh?  I'm familiar with
the larger campuses in town now.

Coming from the Adirondack Mtns. in northern NY and then living in MI for 14

*chilly* weather but it feels good to me.  Refreshing!  LOL!!  As my hubby
said last night after he walked our dog ... "It'll refresh the skin right
off your face!"  (He doesn't miss the cold!!)

Every time it warms up a little it rains.  I saw on the news that the Miami
Valley had about 18" of snow on the ground and more falling.  Hmmmm, how
badly do we want to move to Dayton? LOL

It is about 40 degrees here in the beautiful Nicola Valley, near the
other coast of Canada.

We have no snow and in fact the grass is still green. We have had
temps in the 50s recently. I am still wearing my sandals, which is a
good thing since my boots do not have the lift on them. There is a
chance of snow for Sunday.

Yup, the Thursday snowstorm slowed things down for a bit but it's pretty
mild today and the main roads are clear.  Still, lots of sow seems to bring
out the good in most people - there were lots of people helping each other
with pushing cars and shoveling driveways.

No snow out here, just rain, rain, and more rain. I need SUNSHINE! I'm

turn on EVERY light in your place and screw the electric bill!  That's what I
always did in such circumstances.  Mike knew the gray-ness was getting to me
whenever all the lights came on.  I'm usually enough of an environmentalist
to turn off lights in unoccupied rooms.

Since we started me on an anti-depressant for fibro sleep problems though,
all those inklings of SAD are gone.  I gotta admit it's been nice, not having
to battle the droops whenever it clouds up (which happens A LOT in Michigan,
being stuck up here among the big lakes).

Thanks, Nann. I do have lights on. The depression I get this time of the
year is a combination of the greyness of the weather, and being lonely.
I have come to the conclusion that once you no longer have any family,
holidays don't exist. I was half hoping that my workplace would be open
on Christmas as at least it would have given me something to do besides
sit in an apartment alone. But we were closed, so I spent the day
watching TV, and surfing the web. No one called to see if I was dead or
alive, or even just to say Merry Christmas. I really tried to get into
it this year, but I just can't anymore. So I'll just wait out this
weekend and then it will all be over, and life will go back to normal.

Hugs,
Carole

I'm sorry you had to be alone on Christmas Day and the holidays overall.  Do
you have any friends in the area who might welcome an addition to their
family next year?  About 25 years ago my family began inviting friends who
were alone for Christmas over to our house.  We found that we enjoyed having
them over as much as they enjoyed having some people to be with.

I suspect more people would be happy to do the same thing, but they just
don't think of it.  My sister gets the credit for thinking of it originally,
the year we had three divorced friends who'd be alone on Christmas.  Now some
of them drop by even after visiting family earlier in the day!  It's been
great for all of us.

Hang in there, Carole, and take Nann's advice about turning on all the
lights.  Just a short time ago I was thinking, "Ah, a bit of sunshine.
Maybe the winter won't feel so long!"  Of course, that was Thanksgiving
weekend when I went to Newport with my daughter.  lol  I'm sure the
sun's been out since, hasn't it?

Remember the year we had 90 consecutive days with measurable
precipitation?  THAT was a depressing winter for sure.

Ya know, a friend of ours went from seminary to a parish in Burgeo,
Newfoundland.  I've got them on my favorites list on weather underground and
have noticed that they've been pretty durn warm lately, like in the 40s (F)!  
His weather needs to get closer to ours!

Earlier in the week, it was -32 Celcius (with a -42 windchill).

We had snow yesterday and freezing rain last night.

Right now, it's 2 degrees Celcius and raining (roads are a major mess).

Tonight it's dropping back down to -14 Celcius.

Saturday, it is going down to -28 overnight, with a daytime high of -20.

Yikes. My sympathy. I feel almost guilty when I hear about temps like
that since it never really gets that cold here.

My neice is coming from Saskatcehwan to BC for Christmas. They were
going to leave at 6 am this morning, but the temp was -40 so were
afraid to start out. They waited until 8 and by then it had warmed up
a bit. They will think it is positively balmy when they come here.

Ouch!  I feel like I'm living in the tropics.

Edmonton is supposed to reach a balmy 7C today, -1 Christmas day... then
down to -26 for a high on boxing day (just for all those people who line up
outside to catch the sales).  Yesterday morning was the strangest day I'd
seen... it was -13, yet in addition to the snow we had freezing rain.
Weird.

About 20 degrees here. We had about 2 inches of snow and sleet hit
here yesterday and made the roads pretty bad. Got one more gift to get
my daughter but really didn't feel like getting out much today it was
so cold. Suppose to be a heat wave tomorrow with the temperatures
reaching a high of 30 degrees. Glad I don't live further north.

that weren't enough, temperatures dipped way down, close to zero.  Merry
