Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow--NOT!

Inevitably, about this time of year someone will lament "no White Christmas?"

I always think that person is either a recluse or has been brainwashed by one too many a chorus of the Irving Berlin song.

I live in Western New York--in a snow belt.  The words "lake-effect snow" petrify me. 

My ideal Christmas is sunny, the grass is green, and the forecast says clear skies for the foreseeable future.  It's happened more than once--and those are the Christmases I love the best.  No skidding down icy roads doing those last-minute errands or visiting friends and relatives.  No shoveling and heart attacks.

Today's forecast is for 9 inches of the stuff.

ARRRRRRGHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Stop!  Go away!!  HURRY SPRING!!!

Hmmm...a nice warm 82 degrees outside, sunny a slight breeze. If i could, I'd settle for 65 right now.

Meanwhile, in the frozen north, the wind is howling and I can't see across the street for all the blowing snow. At least I'm toasty warm inside. (Cats are all sitting on the heat runs.)
