Although I’m not a big winter fan…I do like some snow for Christmas!
However, it is looking more like another green Christmas in the Tri-State area. Right now it’s near 60 F in NYC/Long Island and across southern Connecticut. In fact, a few places along the New Jersey shore and Delaware are getting thunderstorms. Rain this week will end, but no sign of ANY snow for the next 8 days. This puts us to the 18th of December. We are running out of time again. This was the same thing last year.
For those north of the Tri-State area (MN, MI, WI, Upstate NY, MA, VT, NH, ME…etc) who has snow on the ground already?
At least in places farther north you have green grass in the winter. Bermuda grass here goes brown in November and doesn't get green again until April.

Take a trip inland if you want to see some snow.... The Green and White Mountains in New England will see a foot of snow or more over the next few days. They will have plenty of snow for good skiing and have been making a good deal of snow lately.
On the east shore of Lake Michigan, we have over a foot of snow on the ground and I doubt that we'll have a "green" Christmas. We'd have to get some really warm days to melt all this snow!
I haven't checked NOAA's snow cover map lately. I'm driving to Iowa Friday so I'm hoping we get a break from this pattern for a few days!

That sounds like a good idea. I just feel bad for the little kids...they want to see Santa in the snow (kind of goes with the image). A trip up to New England may be the ticket for them to see it.
Down here it was humid, 60 F, and heavy rain in southern Connecticut. I even saw on TV they were surfing along the Jersey shore and Long Island. Most of the Tri-state normaly gets little snow in December...but it should be in the mid 40's not 60 F. I just want to see some snow for the Christmas.

I was about to say,
at least a green Christmas is better than a brown Christmas.
*Nameless, does OKC get a lot of brown Christmasses? (sp? lol)

Usually we have about a 10% chance of a white Christmas. So a brown Christmas occurs about 90% of the time. There have been two maybe three with snow on the ground in my lifetime (18 years).
Down here we still have a green Christmas. People still cutting their yard, etc. Just when I thought I saw the last of any 90°F day, since Nov. 11 or so, we hit 90°F and tied a record on Tuesday.

TWC was talking about a city tonight, but I didn't catch where it was. Texas, possibly? They said that Tues. they hit a record high and Wed. OR Thurs., they will be hitting a record low.
Wasn't us. We tied the record high of 90°F on Tuesday that was set in 1983, but we missed the record low by 2 degrees, we hit 41° and the record was 39°. Tonight we will hit mid 30s, but the record low is 29°.
