I WISH we could have a white Christmas one year. I live right by the ocean so it hardly ever snows here cause the water usually keeps the temperatures above freezing. Sometimes we get a a little, but it melts almost immediately. The most I ever remember is 8 inches, but that only happens like once every 10 years or something. You people up north would laugh at us because when we do get snow the whole city shuts down until it melts. If there's two inches on the ground, they close up schools, malls, government buildings--everything. Everybody freaks out and goes to the grocery store to buy all these supplies like they're never going to be able to leave their house again. Then they interrupt tv programming for continuous coverage of the "blizzard." It's actually very amusing.
BTW, last weekend it was in the 70s, but that's a little warmer than usual. Typically it's in the 50s around this time of year. It usually doesn't get really cold until January. By "cold," I mean the 30s-40s.
