White Christmas, anyone?

We're having an abnormally warm winter. No snow (and no freezing temperatures) in our immediate forecast. It's odd.

I've been watching the NC temps, and it's crazy how warm it's been there! Just when we wanted to rub in our warm winter here in Belize... Last year we spent Christmas at Ocean Isle Beach and had snow, but this year it's in the 50s and 60s nearly every day in NC. What gives?

Looks like a high of 80 or so here tomorrow. The sand is white, but that's about it!

Merry Christmas!

That always seems to happen to us when we travel to escape the weather. We went to San Diego at Christmastime a few years ago and it ended up being as warm at home in Kansas as it was out in CA.

We were in the forties and dry today, which isn't unusual for this time of year. Western Kansas is still melting off a foot or so of snowfall from a few days ago, so it varies a lot in a short distance. And then my son is here from Minnesota and he's barely seen any snow yet, which is very unusual up there. It's really been strange.

I remember on Christmas we went to Disney World (I was in High School), of course that was the year it snowed in Florida, go figure.

The year we went to Miami during this time of year, it didn't get higher than 60. Most of the time it was 52 and windy.
And one of the times we went back to Phx to visit in December, we were at the airport getting our rental car when I saw little white flakes coming down. I had never seen it snow in the Valley the whole time I lived there, but it snowed when I went there on vacation!

It's 50 degrees here today with sunshine. No white Christmas for us this year but I'm hoping to get a Christmas day bike ride in. That's something I've never done before!

It is 43 degrees here and tons of sunshine...and wind gusts of 20+ mph so I won't be riding today. No real time to do so anyway. Certainly makes all of my driving today far more pleasant than last Christmas!

I washed some white laundry and hung it outside in the sun, and I'm also planning to clean some bathroom fixtures, so yah-- it's a white Christmas.

Oh--I also need to make some mayo, and it is white too!
