Up our way it is a safe bet that everything north of Wyoming, Idaho, South Dakota will be white.............

Put your money on VT for a White Christmas.

Chicago area has about 4 inches of snow on the ground as of today, and another 2 to 6 inches predicted to fall tonight and tomorrow morning. It has not been above 32 degrees for the past week, so I'm betting Chicago will have a white Christmas this year. Lucky us.

Looks like VT is going to get it too. We're just about ready for our VT/ME dinners at Paradise and more quality time in TV

Canada is fine also. If you want to travel, my friend in Winnipeg want to go south out of the cold.

It will not be me, as I will be back in Sunny warm Florida by then...BUT, yesterday I drove to Rochester NY. I vowed that i would never return to western NY in the winter, but two of the dearest new grandbabies turned my normally "normal" wife into a "Grandma Monster" who HAD to see these new babies ASAP.

It was a strange drive. First, I noticed the lack of Palm trees. Then I noticed the lack of green and all the trees looking dead and gray. The radio started talking about "get your furnace and boilers serviced before you freeze".

I was the only car with Florida plates going NORTH. Soon, all the cars were dirty, gray and rusty. Gas prices were in the $3.60+ range. Snowplows were everywhere. Then We hit snow. Cars were off the road. Potholes, rust and bulky coats and gloves, etc. 18 degrees.

I just got in from snowblowing my son's driveway. Rock salt on the walks, etc. Something I never thought I'd do again. Boy...the power of grandbabies!

Weather permitting, I'll be back next week to palm trees and pickleball...

Your grandchildren are adorable! Enjoy your visit to the frozen north and travel back to Florida safely.

Your grandchildren are super cute and no doubt worth granting your wife's wishes, although that did seem like a white knuckle road trip north once the snow hit.

We are expecting another snowstorm beginning later today, but have no plans to venture out.

The memories of those warm and cuddly, adorable little babies will last for quite awhile. Thank goodness for skyping.

Safe trip back, hopefully on dry roads.

Over 4 feet in B'ham NY so far - nearby Redfield NY over 6 feet. Anyone beat this?

[2BNTV]

Not a chance of snow in TV!!! It's going to be 83 degrees today.

Great day to be out and about.


Love it, Love it, Love it. :smiley:

[Happinow]

Where I came from.....upstate NY. Today into tonight they are getting 8-12 inches of snow. It will be pretty to look at....from a distance!!

Beautiful grand babies! As grand parents we just can't get enough and it's hard when the live far away. Merry Christmas!!!

[DangeloInspections]

Thank you for the kind words. I apologize for going slightly off topic...technically we should be back down there by 12/25, so we will not see a White Christmas. It is just that I have not seen snow and cold for over two years and being back here really rattled me. I cannot believe this was my life for decades.

We are very blessed living in central Florida......where cars stay clean, no boots and coats are needed, cars do not need to be scraped and started, shopping carts do not need to be pushed through snow, driveways never need shoveling, etc.

May all of you good folks have a very Merry and Blessed Christmas!

I really dont know how some children grow up without grandparents
