Christmas Eve without any snow (here anyway)

Open winters suck.

All those kids getting skis and snow shoes tomorrow morning are going to have a major sad.

I don't even know if there is enough ice on lakes and ponds to go skating...

Winter in Maine without snow and ice is effing boring.

Yup

34 and raining would be abnormal. This is crazy.

Of course, "When I grew up in upstate NY, we had 4 feet of snow by December 1st." My memories from 60-70 years ago are probably a bit clouded....

Card and board games, puzzles, crosswords, word games (charades, anyone?). Notice I didn't suggest that everyone retreat to their phone/pad/tablet/etc.?

Enjoy conversations. Go for some nice long walks in the woods (forest bathing). Jog, run, crawl (in my case).

Pretty soon we'll all complain about winter, too much snow/ice, too many out-of-town skiers, etc.

Outside DC.

Cold, damp and light rain. Not very Christmas-y.

We did have a foggy morning and a cloudy day with temps in the mid 50s. It’s 47 now. I think the weather guy said spring-like temps for a couple more days then it will be much colder, in the 30s for the New Year. I’m not looking forward to that. I’m good with mid 50s and no snow!!
