I am sitting here in the middle of central Maine, about as far north as you can be and still be in the continental United States. We are going to be having the brownest Christmas ever. It was freakin' 48 degrees today. No snow forecast in the foreseeable future, either.
My kids are not fond of the brown, mucky Christmas, by the way.
So, my answer to the title question is No. Promote this thread! | | JayJayDean

I fly out the next day to Maryland to see my kids, so I hope it does not snow at all. | redsoxnation

| #5 Posted on 23.12.06 2311.51 Reposted on: 23.12.13 2312.34 | It's really weird around here. We've had no snow on Christmas before, but usually, at least several inches would've fallen by now. As I sit here, it has not snowed ONCE since I got home from college (on the 12th), so most of December has been green. It's never been this dry before.
It's been in the high 40s all week, but could snow on Tuesday or Wednesday. A day or two too late. For me, I'd like there to be snow for Christmas, but that's all the snow I care about having around me. | cfgb

We had some freezing rain on Friday night (I imagine the last minute shoppers weren't happy!), but it was all melted again by this afternoon when I went to pick up some groceries for our Christmas dinner.
We've had all of ONE snowfall that's stuck so far, but by "stuck" I mean "it stayed on the ground for a week tops before melting".
Very, very odd weather. (I trust that God understands that these are NOT complaints!) | OlFuzzyBastard

And y'all are just skimming over this, but fog is not a thing that we get here!!! Very cool for us!
(BTW, a tasty, albeit unusual-looking beverage I was offering at our Solstice Party last Friday: Hypnotiq liqueur & guava juice (preferably Kern's). Makes a fabulous lavendar grey colour, & tastes rather like Hawiian Punch. I call it a Sausalito Fog, since it's exactly the colour of too-early-in-the-morning when I lived up there on the houseboat.) | DrDirt

All it takes is a short drive west (okay, seven hours) to Castlegar, BC. It snowed and snowed and snowed on Saturday and Sunday. The drive back to Calgary today was a little harrowing over one of the passes, but it made for a picture-perfect Christmas. |
