Re: (...)
We may be not going to our kids for Christmas celebrations - looks like
ANOTHER storm maybe coming on the 24th - Guess I better get prepared for a
small Christmas dinner here - and move the Seattle Christmas to next week.
What a mess - This will be the 2nd White Christmas we have had in the
Thirty years we have been here.
Our best wishes for everyone safety and a wonderful Christmas to all.

Don't feel bad...the weather here is miserable as well! Between the nearly 20 inches of snow in the past week and the winds of nearly 50 mph and wind chills nearly -50F it has been awful. Last night a little system blew through with nearly 3 inches in a couple of hours time and another couple of inches of scattered flurries are expected today. I guess the storm you are getting on Christmas Eve is the snow and ice storm we are expecting on Christmas afternoon through Friday night that is supposed to bring us nearly another foot of snow and about an inch of freezing rain sometime before or after the snow.

We're in the same boat, Marye - still here.
Retired and having fun writing cookbooks, tasting wine and sharing recipes with all my friends.

That's funny Labs! That same song ran through my head too!
Marye, I hate you will be missing Christmas with the kids, but I sure wish we had just a little of the white stuff here. It's supposed to be in the lower 70's Christmas Day. Not very holiday-ish. I guess I should be counting my blessings though. Stay safe everyone!

Yes Labs, that tune came to my mind this early morning. - Still expecting
snow here - lots more than we have had for a long time.
Lj - I know you are really having a bad Winter - and just think its just
begun. I have my Mom to worry about back there.
Hope you are on the mend from your accident -
Daphne - 70 degrees oh what I would give for 40 to 50 degree weather !!!
hopefully soon -

Oh, Marye, I totally forgot your mother. I hope she is staying safe and in the house. Does she have help? I hope so, and I hope her pantry, fridge, and freezer are stocked. She has no business getting out in that mess! Just look what happened to LJ! Didn't you take a trip East to help her after a fall or other health issue a while back? It must be so hard to be that far away.

We are above freezing temperatures for the first time in over a month!!! Going to be nearly 50F today and boy is it foggy from the melting snow! Going to dip below freezing at night to make driving rough but we have a couple of days in the mid-30sF coming up and the rest of the next couple of weeks looks like mid-to-upper 20sF! Right after the first of the year is the next time we are expecting snow again! After daily doses of 1 to 10 inches for a couple of weeks and off and on days of wind chills well below -30F this is like a tropical heat wave! Might even dare to go out and fire up the grill since the winds are light today!

We had a great Christmas - we went to Seattle and had an international Dinner
Schnitzel and Spatzle with cheese. and a Cuke Salad. and the Danish Raccelete.
on Christmas Eve and Prime Rib on Christmas Day got to see all the family and
had a great time.
Roads were dicey getting home - but are melting now.
